Insert a column break

The text of the document is distributed evenly across the columns. If you need to forcibly move a portion of text from one column to the next, insert a non-printable character called a column break.

To insert a column break, do the following:

1. Place the cursor at the beginning of the text you want to move to the next column.
2. Insert a column break in one of the following ways:
   • On the Home tab, in the Insert group, click the arrow to the right of the  Section break button and select Column break.

•On the Page tab, click ** Column break**.

To see a column break, turn on the display of non-printable characters.

To delete a column break, follow the steps described in the Delete text section.
