How do I prevent text wrapping within columns in Word.

[Drumlinedad]

I would like to set up a document with two columns, but be able to switch
back and forth between columns when entering text. The text should not wrap
from the left column to the right column, but rather continue on to the next
page.

It sounds like what you want is a table; see
