Columns in a doc problem

Hi all,

I am trying for first time to format a document using newspaper-like columns
( 4 per page)

I do the procedure and see in the rabs bar that 4 columns are created

Now when I try to paste a document into first column, I get a bizarre result
that I cannot correct :
- first page poulates only first 3 columns
- 5 last ones populate correctly 4 columns
- all in between ( 32) only use first column !

Any idea ?

How should I proceed ?

Original document from which I copy-paste is not formatted at all ( it is a
..rtf file without page breaks)

Looking in word help file proved totally useless and even does not explain
how I can navigate from one column to another ( I cannot put the cursor in
empty columns ( wanted to copy-paste directly into one to try : no way !)

TIA !
