I set up the page for three columns. But how do you move
the cursor into the second and third columns?

Thanks.

You have to type your way into them, and text flows like a snake down each
in turn, not independently by column. If you want columns you can type in
concurrently, you need to use a table (which can be set to borderless).

Dayo is correct, but if you want to access the second or third column before
filling the previous one (a common requirement in newsletter layouts), press
Ctrl+Shift+Enter to insert a column break.
