Columns

[mac159753]

Hi All,

I'm starting a new doc that needs to be in 4 columns. I've set up the
4 columns, but I'm not familiar with how they work. How do you move
from one column to another? I can't get the cursor in any column
except #1.

Thanks in advance.

How do you move from one column to another? I can't get the
cursor in any column except #1.

Depends which View you're working in.
In "Normal" view, you don't even /see/ the columns, just the breaks
around them. In Page Layout view, you can see the columns, but
you can't get "into" columns 2-and-up until Word decides you've got
enough text in the "columned" section to bother using them. ;-)

I'd suggest just dumping in a whole bunch of text, then applying the
column formatting to that - then experiment with the different views.

HTH,
Phill W.
