Can automatic page breaks be disabled?
Only recently (end of July, beginning of August) I have noticed that
Microsoft Word does not insert a page break at the end of a full page of text. You can continue to tpye, but a new page (and subsiquently, your text) does not appear. If you insert a manual page break (Ctrl + Enter) then a new page (and the words that you typed) appear. I was wondering what was wrong. Has automatic page breaks been disabled or is somethng else misconfigured. I have MS Office 2003. |

You may have a variation of the "blank document not blank" problem involving a text box or a floating table, either of which can't extend past the end of the current page. Is there any sign (such as borders, or the little table-selector box at the upper left, or unexpected items on the right-click menus) that your text isn't in a regular-text paragraph?

More likely it's the columns bug. Using the same steps to edit Normal.dot,
go to Format | Columns and click on the One button, making sure that "Equal column width" is checked. -- Suzanne S.

Yet another possibility that seems to describe Cray's situation is that the
view is set in Web Layout. Choose View - Normal or View - Print Layout, if that's the case. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.

Thank you Suzanne. You suggestion was spot on. I have "resurrected" my normal
template and all is well again. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: More likely it's the columns bug.
