I am teaching a grade 5 class to use columns and breaks. I need to see the
page exactly as they have formatted it to be able to give them feedback and
marks at certain spots. When I add a comment in Word 2003 I sometimes have
the document in which I added it change. For example, the text following the
comment jumps to another page and the document changes from 3 pages to be 11!
Word is set to "original showing markup" and balloons are on.
thanks for the help

Random changes like that sound like corruption. Comments don't usually
change page breaks, in my experience, although inserting a lot of text will.
see here to uncorrupt a document:

On the other hand, it's possible that Word can't handle both balloons
and columns, although it would surprise me.
