Isn't the difference simply that a column break starts to act like a
column break (that is, breaks to the next column) if you ever change
the number of columns to two or more?

I've observed (and wondered) the same thing. Although they are
functionally
the same in this case, I think I would use a page break if that's
what's
called for, rather than a column break, just because the latter
might be
confusing--to you, to Word, and especially to anyone else who might
later
have to work with your document.

I've noticed that when I use Column break in a section with only
one
column, it performs as if I've inserted a page break. Is there any
difference in this situation between using a Page break, or a Column
break
(when working with one column)?
