Microsoft word mac, move cursor between columns

I have updated Microsoft Office for mac. I have set up two columns. How do I move the cursor from one column to the other? I've tried option up an option down, but it doesn't work. Assistance would be greatly appreciated!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.5

How do I create a vertical line between columns in Pages? I'm creating a Pages (10.1) document and sections of it have two columns. I want to put a vertical line between the columns. Can't find a way to do this. In MS Word it's very easy - create columns, select the column button and check the box for vertical line. In Pages I just can't find any way to do this - and the Help doesn't mention it at all. Perhaps there's no way to do it? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

Select text on Mac Word How do I select text to cut, paste, or move? I am using my mouse and don’t recall ever having this problem before. I even set the “select” command on my ribbon but it doesn’t work.

Moving a blank cell in Excel on my MacBook Air Hi, Just an unimportant (but annoying) issue I'm having using using excel on my Mac... When I move to a blank cell (using the navigation keys on the keyboard) and then hit 'enter', I can obviously start typing in the cell. The problem comes though, when I want to edit a cell that already has text in it. When this happens, I use the navigation keys to move to the cell, I hit enter, and the the text in the cell is deleted! Is there a key I can hit (or a combination of keys) instead of 'enter', that will bring the cursor to the end of whatever is already in a cell so that I can add to it or edit it? (I know I can use the mouse or trackpad to click into the cell but I am looking for a way to do this on the keyboard so that I don't have to keep returning to the mouse constantly). Thanks!
