==After text has been entered, if you want to change the
location of existing tabs or add new ones, you must first
select all the text you want affected.

In this case, you shouldn't add new tabs (which will just
make a mess); instead you should move the existing ones.
The easiest way to do this is to drag them on the ruler.==

I did.  All it did was move the word I had on that (top)
particular line, nothing below it which is what I wanted
moved.

It also added another tab.  Actually, sometimes it does
and sometimes it doesn't.

I can't "select" all the text in the column because if I
try and highlight it, the entire page gets higlighted.

All I want to do is move the middle and right columns
over.

Is that asking too much, or is it Words objective to drive
users insane?

You don't move tabs for a column by selecting the column; you move them by
selecting the paragraph(s). If all the text on the page is in the columns,
then you *need* to select all the text on the page. Otherwise, if you're
encountering the problem of runaway scrolling, click at the beginning of the
desired selection, then drag the elevator on the vertical scroll bar to
bring the other end in view and Shift+click there. If you're dragging tab
stops on the ruler, you have to be careful about selecting them. If you
inadvertently add an extra one, just drag it off.
