The best place for a column break is typically between paragraphs or other major sections of text. On the ribbon, go to the Layout tab and, in the Page Setup group, select Breaks &gt; Column. The selected location now appears at the top of the next column.

The columns are now even. With a continuous break inserted, when text is added to a column, Word moves the text between columns to ensure columns are evenly distributed. <h2> Delete a Break </h2> If there&#39;s a break in a column that you no longer need, or if the document has a column break that you can&#39;t find, delete the column break or continuous break.
