1.Place the cursor at the beginning of the text you want to move to the next column.

2.Insert a column break in one of the following ways:

•On the Home tab, in the Insert group, click the arrow to the right of the  Section break button and select Column break command from the drop-down list.

•On the Page tab, click  Column break.

To see a column break, turn on the display of non-printable characters.

To delete a column break, follow the steps described in the Delete text section.
