Default Why are my column breaks forcing a page break at each row?

Document Diva,
Glad you solved it, just thought you were viewing in normal layout which
leads many people to think they do not have their columns. My next
suggestion would have been that you had inserted the column breakes
yourself.

That's exactly what I was doing. USER ERROR!!! DOH!!! I also was
thinking
that it would work differently where I could input my info in the columns,
row by row, and it would fill the page before it went to the next page.
That's also why it wasn't working the way I was used to it working. I
ended
up imputting my info differently than I originally started out doing it so
that it would work correctly. I just had to step away from it for a day
...
Thanks for your help. And for Luc's help, too.

What 'Column Breaks' are you referring to? Unless you are *inserting*
Column
Breaks there shouldn't be any visible in the doc even with non-printing
characters displayed. In Print Layout view the text simply wraps to the
next
column & in Normal view the text shows as one continuous run.

If you *are* inserting the breaks they could be the source of the
problem.

I usually work in Normal View and then do a Print Preview. The program
always changes to Print Layout somehow. Normal view just shows me the
column
breaks and no page breaks. Print Layout shows a page break after each
row,
yes. Print preview agrees with Print Layout showing one row per page.
Thank
you.

What should I do next?

Document Diva,
Is this the same when you activate Print Layout view instead of normal
view?

In my document, I have set up a new Continuous Section where I have
set
Formatted Columns to 4. After each row, my document is paging
instead of
continuing the next row on the same page.
