For columns in a table, use the tab/shift tab key.
For newspaper style columns, use <alt>+<Down arrow> / <alt>+<Up arrow>.

If you are trying to keep text together, such as in parallel columns,
then Word columns really aren't the best, or the easiest, to use for
this type of layout. Word columns are more for newspaper style columns
in which text flows from one column to the next.

To control horizontal layout use a borderless Word table instead. This
will give you more control over where the text falls on the page and
it's a simple matter of pressing Tab to navigate between the
cells/columns.
