I am typing a document in word and I need two columns formatted with text in
both. I am only able to write in the left column and cannot type in right
column. Please help.

With "newspaper" type columns, you need to insert a column break to move
from the first to the second column. (Page Layout tab>Breaks in Page Setup
section of Ribbon>Column)

If you want to switch backwards and forwards, maybe you should be using a
two column table instead. If you go this route, insert new rows every now
and then as exceptionally long rows (spanning pages) can be a bit of an
issue.
