column break
To break the current column and start a new column immediately in a document or spreadsheet, you can typically use a column break feature. In programs like Microsoft Word, you can insert a column break by placing your cursor where you want the break, then selecting "Insert" > "Break" > "Column Break." In Excel, you can simply adjust the layout by using the "Page Layout" tab to set your columns, or by adjusting the cell formatting as needed. This allows you to control the flow of text or data across columns effectively.
Insert a column break.
A column break is entered by the user, not Word itself. When a user wants to start text in a new column, they can insert a column break. It is put in under the last piece of text prior to when the user enters the break. If text continues to the end of the page, text can go into a new column, but that is not classified as being a column break.
To delete a column break in a Word document, first, ensure that you have the "Show/Hide ¶" button activated in the Home tab to display formatting marks. Locate the column break, which will appear as a dashed line labeled "Column Break." Place your cursor directly before the break and press the Delete key, or place it after the break and press Backspace to remove it.
Insert a page break at the end of the column.
A column break is a term associated with Microsoft Word, not Excel. In Word, it starts a new column of text. In Excel, you can just go to another column to start entering new data.
