Hi there. I have just had a quick look under Window-eyes hotkeys, office, and you need to define the hotkeys for column navigation.
My personal preference when preparing documents is to use tables, as I find them easier to set up (but this is just personal preference) and of course - when reading other peoples' documents - no such choice exists. A lot depends upon what type of information you are working with - material for newspaper columns (for example) cannot easily be prepared as table layout. Best of luck if you decide to define your hotkeys.

The concept of creating columns and inserting information into them, is quite new to me, and some of the assignments I do in my computer class, require me to create columns within a word document, and then I have to type information in one column, and more information into another column. Just to give you an idea of what I mean, If I were creating a document about computer software, and I wanted to put the names of the software in one column on the left, and the descriptions of each one in a column on the right, how would I do this? What hotkey would I use to navigate back and forth between these two columns, so that I can type information where its supposed to go? In a textbook I was reading last night, they had two columns of information, and the columns were setup so that when you tabbed once you'd be taken to the left column, and if you tabbed again, you'd be taken to the right column. If you pressed enter while the cursor was still sitting on the right column, it would go to a new line like it always does, and then when you press tab, you'd be placed back into the left column again, so that you can type information on a new line below the information to which you just typed prior to hitting enter. That's the best way I can really explain it to you so, I hope this makes some kind of sense. So, does Window-eyes have any shortcut hotkeys for navigating columns in word? I didn't specify which version of word I'm using, because I've been told, that many of the shortcut commands that most of us have become accustomed to, still work, even in the newer versions of the software.
