Word adds hundreds of pages to my document
I had a beautifully formatted document of 79 pages. I used outline numbering
for the various sections. The automatic Table of Contents showed the correct numbering for the 79 pages. Everything looked perfect on my screen. I closed the document. Just before I wanted to send it by email I opened it again, and suddenly it had over 900 pages. I tried to scroll through it, but when it got past page 8 it would only open in "normal" view, not "page view". I could not access any of the pages that Word had magically added to my document, so was unable to delete any of them. The back-up version has the same problem. Why is Word doing this? How can I fix my document? How can I prevent this from happening again? Many thanks for any help or suggestions. |

Runaway repagination is a sign of a corrupted document. See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm for ways to try to restore it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Word adds hundreds of pages to my document
Many thanks for your help. I neglected to mention that I work on a Mac. I
was able to repair the document by emailing it to a pc, then choosing Open and Repair from the Word menu. (That option isn't available on Word for Mac -- maybe they think we don't need it.) I couldn't believe how well (and how quickly) that worked. Cheers. "Jay Freedman" wrote: Runaway repagination is a sign of a corrupted document.
