MS word stuck on first page

F

fjmang

I have Office XP Pro and Microsoft word started to act up recently,
cant type past page one when im working on a document. I trie
uninstalling MS word and reinstalling it, updating it all the way.
still it wont type past page 1... I am at a loss how to fix thi
problem.... it wont even show multiple pages.. you cant hi
enter/enter/enter.. to get to page 2(it wont show that there is a pag
2) yet the scribbly icon thing keeps moving when im typing.. only pag
one shows and at print screen.. only displays page one as if that wa
the only thing there.


important... i can get around this problem by opening up a previou
document that had multiple pages and then have it work normal fro
there... its just when i want to creat a new document that it wont ge
past page 1. of course i would hate to have to do this all the time

Hello fjmang, by any chance have you found the answer to our delimma? I too
have an important word doc that will not see or print past the first 2 pages.
I can see all four pages in normal view but if I go to print view only 2
pages show with the 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 at the bottom. What gives and how to
fix???
Any help appreciated.
thanks

It sounds like you've encountered an issue with Columns. Go to
Format/Columns, click One in the Presets at the top of the dialog box (click
it anyway even if you see 1 or 2 in the column count), click OK and see if
that rectifies the problem.
