I believe you just press Tab and Shift Tab to go back and forth.
Try it with sample text, such as "This is column one and This is column two
and see if the Tabbing will take you back and forth.

Thanks for this, however I am not looking to create tables but text columns
on the Page so it will look sort of like the newspaper. I know how to create
the columns but not how to navigate between them with jobs.

Theresa. Press enter or space bar. Then you will find a list of different
table you can create such as 1x1, 1x2. And so on then 2x1, 2x2 and so on.
The first number refers to number of rows, the second the number of
columns. For example, 1x2, would be one row and two columns.
George expands. There are many variations of this but here is one way.
1. Press ALT and then arrow to the right to Insert and press space bar.
2. Now TAB over until you hear Tables, it will be 3 or 4 TABS.
3. Press Space Bar and it brings you into a grouping of boxes. You will be
in the top left box. JAWS will say something like "1x" which is your row
number.
4. Now ARROW down an JAWS will say "2x" then "3x" and so on. Arrow own to
5. Now arrow to the right twice. This will give you a beginning Table 5
rows long and 3 columns across. Press Enter.
6. This brings you back into your Word document and you are in the upper
left cell of your new Table.
If you want to mess with the width of your columns then from here press
Applications key.
7. Arrow down to Table Properties & press enter.
8. You land in the Table properties TAB where you can set many parameters
for your table.
9. ALT + U moves you to the Columns TAB and then ALT + R takes you to the
Row properties TAB. There are also TABS for Cell and All Text.
10. In the Column TAB once an you land on Preferred width and it is
checked by default.
11. TAB once an you land in the Spin Box to set your preferred column
width.
12. I forget the keystroke to move between TABS but you could use that to
move through the TABS as well.
This sounds a little complicated but like most things it is fairly
straight forward and gets easier the more you practice at it. Don't be
afraid to create tables modify them then dump the document and begin again
until you get just what you want.

I hope this at least gets you started. To create columns in word, you
create what Word calls a table. You'll find tables in the insert tab of
the ribbon. I've just checked Word 2010, and it looks like the shortcut is
alt-n, t.

Hi

reading headers and footers in documents? B
