Using Google Docs, I went to Format>Columns to divide my document into two columns, but I'm stuck on the first column and don't know how to jump to the other one to start editing it.

I just tried it in Chrome on Windows and it works the following way. Start selecting the table just below the lower-left cell (click where the cursor changes to the one indicating text entry) and drag the selection all the way up to the top-left cell until all of them are filled with a blueish highlight. Then press CTRL + C, switch to Google Spreadsheet and press CTRL + V.
In the screenshot the highlight is gray because the window was out of focus.

Found my answer here.
It says that Google Docs columns works in such way that the document gets split up into two columns, meaning that the current text keeps its continuous flow until the rest of the page, and then moves back to the second column.
To facilitate two separate columns, a table should be used instead.
