drop down menus

I am having a problem with "page setup" and "break" not
showing bold on my drop menus in Word. This is causing me
to type only 1 page and it goes forever. How can I get
these comands back to where I can use them. Also
shouldn't Word automaticly insert page breaks and the end
of a page? Need help fast...

Hi shots

If it was just the missing menu items, I'd point you to
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/RestoreMenuCmd.htm to put them back.

However, the problem with not getting more than one page makes me think your
normal.dot template is probably corrupted and needs to be replaced. For
that, see section 2 of
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm. Ignore the fact
that it talks about crashes -- a corrupt normal.dot can cause all sorts of
problems, with or without crashes.

Yes, Word should be inserting page breaks automatically. You will not see
page breaks if you're in Web Layout view, but you should see them if you
switch to Normal view (and have nonprinting characters displayed). If you
are not seeing more than one page in Print Layout view, go to Format |
Columns and make sure that the number of columns is set to 1. If you're in a
table, make sure it hasn't inadvertently become wrapped (Table | Properties
| Table: Text wrapping: None).
