Word 2003, when typing will not create new page, text disappears.
Somehow Word thinks my default document has two columns and will not allow me
to type beyond the first page without putting in a hard page break. I can keep typing, but the information does not show up until I put in a hard carriage return. When I try to change the normal.dot it warns the right margin cannot be increased because it will cause uneven columns. Columns is set to 1 and will not change from 6.5" width. I deleted the normal.dot and now any document I create will automatically create a new page as I am typing close to the bottom margin, but I cannot seem to fix the old documents without copying and pasting unformatted text and then reformatting. HELP |

In the Format | Columns dialog, click on the Preset picture for One. This
checks the "Equal column width" box, which is the missing piece of the puzzle. -- Suzanne S.
