Eyþór, I believe this is what you are wanting. the instructions are from
notes I have saved over the years. I'm not sure they are for Word 2010
and may even work in 2013. this should get you at least started:
"To do this, open a new word document, and then open the Layout tab, tab
in the ribbon. Then tab down to Columns, and press enter. Now, press the
down arrow to find the number of columns that you want. I believe it
goes up to 4 columns, and if you want more, then you can click on the
"More columns" link. If you want 3 columns, simply press enter when it
says 3, and you will be set up. As you reach the bottom of each page in
the individual column, the text will then wrap up to the top of the
column to the right of the first column. Good luck. "
and George covered how to navigate thru the columns. hth

It has been way long since I worked with columnar data in Word but it seems
that I could use F6 to toggle between the columns. Page down might even work
to get to the second column.
If all else fails End Down to the bottom of the first column then arrow down
and it should wrap over to the top of the second column.

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.

I'm copying instructions on how to create columns/tables in Word 2013 that were

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.

reading headers and footers in documents? B
