How can I write in the second column of MS word?

Question

As in, you make two columns, but I seem to only be able to write on the left said. What gives?

Answer 1

It is all still one big block of text. To write in the next column, you need to fill up the first column, either with text or a bunch of enters. Or you can go to INSERT --> BREAK --> COLUMN BREAK.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

You either have to full the first column, and then it continues in the second, or you have to click Insert and insert a Column Break at the bottom of the text in the first column. Then you can type in the second column.

Answer 3

Try using a table. if you are using Word 2003 go to Table --> Insert --> Table

then you can choose 2 columns and format it the way you want.

Answer 4

Put cursor where you want to add text and type.

Answer 5

use the tab key
