Inserting the cursor into different columns in Word 2007
I have a single page with three columns in Word 2007.
How can I move the cursor to a different location in either of the three columns? I do know how to move the cursor to different locations that involve text that is not in a text box. As example, in column two I have a text box. How can I place the cursor below the text box? and how do I move the cursor between pictures and a text box that is located in a column? Thanks for looking. -- Cheers, hd |

Inserting the cursor into different columns in Word 2007
The columns feature of Word provides newspaper-type columns with the
expectation that the text flow will snake from one column to the next. You can insert column breaks to force an ending of the text in one column & force the following content to the next column, but most people asking this question are trying to get content on the right to correspond to content in the previous column - in which case what you really want is a multi-column Table, not columns. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "happydude" wrote in message ...

CyberTaz, you are correct. A three table setup is easier to deal than with
the 3 column setup. Thank you for your time. -- Cheers, hd "CyberTaz" wrote: The columns feature of Word provides newspaper-type columns with the expectation that the text flow will snake from one column to the next.

Inserting the cursor into different columns in Word 2007
I still have one question.
Even in tables after I've created a text box I need to know how to move the cursor below the text box. How does one do this? -- Cheers, hd "CyberTaz" wrote: The columns feature of Word provides newspaper-type columns with the expectation that the text flow will snake from one column to the next.

I'm not really clear on what you're asking here - Tables & Text Boxes are 2
different issues. What are you actually trying to accomplish? -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "happydude" wrote in message news  I still have one question.

After inserting a text box I can't move the cursor below and outside the text
box. Thanks. -- Cheers, John "CyberTaz" wrote: I'm not really clear on what you're asking here - Tables & Text Boxes are 2 different issues.

Inserting the cursor into different columns in Word 2007
I don't have access to a system running '07 right now, but in general your
text box meets one of two conditions so pick the appropriate one (turn on the non-printing characters - ¶ - first): 1- The text box may be formatted as In Line with Text: Click outside the lower right corner of the text box (you should see one of the ¶ marks there), then press the Enter key 2- The text box has some sort of Text Wrapping applied (not In Line): This is a little trickier because the box is anchored to a paragraph. You'll need to change the Wrapping style and/or move the anchor and/or move the text box. This is especially confusing if the text box is the only content on the "page". Also, if you have "Click and Type" enabled in Word Options you can double-click anywhere in the blank part of the doc to place your insertion point at that spot - although not the preferred technique. It's difficult for me to give you explicit suggestions without being able to see what your doc looks like. I'm assuming you're starting with a new blank doc & are creating a text box right off. I'm also assuming you're not creating the text box inside a table cell. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "happydude" wrote in message ...
