It's a very bizarre bug caused by "Equal column width" not being enabled. If
you create multiple columns using the Columns button on the toolbar in some
earlier Word versions, that check box is not checked, and you can end up
with unequal columns, one of which is the margin width, leaving nowhere for
the rest of the columns to go. This has even more bizarre results in
portrait documents in which text is visible in Normal view but disappears in
Print Layout view because it's forced into a column that has zero width.

When using Microsoft Word I am unable to continue typing to the next
page.
I
don't believe it has anything to do with page break. I think it has to
do
with the margins. When I go into FILE, PAGE SET UP, MARGINS and try
to
default margins it won't allow me to default and an error message pops
up.
