Actually, my grocery list is the only time I use columns. I set my font 36
or so so I can print my list and read it at the store. I like to keep
everything on one page so I use the columns if the list is too long for one
page. If the list is short, I don't need the columns and I don't need to
navigate around a table.
ALT-up/down arrow is the perfect solution for my needs. I will also keep it
in mind when I run across columns that someone else created. Can't remember
who told me that tip, but thanks.

Totally agree. I probably over-stated it when I said columns in Word are
not your friend. Some software vendors do their standard contracts in
newspaper column formatted documents. Actually, in reviewing and editing
those documents, columns are better than are tables. I have had documents
where someone got the bright idea of putting paragraph numbers in column 1
and the text in the various cells of a two-column table. Automatic
paragraph numbering is definitely better, using columns.
Although I've never deliberately formatted a document using columns, I do
concede that they have their place.
For a grocery list, however, I'd still go with a table.
