Can't type past first page!

[Guest]

Help! My typing does not show on the second page of word documents. I can
write a word at the top and space it all the way down to the bottom of the
first page where it disappears. I still get the correct word count, but I
can't see the words. I would like to type more than one page of a document,
but can't figure out where my second page went! If I go to "break" and click
"next page" it will work with a bit of a headache, but I have to do this at
the end of each page...did I somehow mess with the settings?? Thanks in
advance!

Does this occur in only one particular document? If yes, then
open the document, and click on Format | Columns | One | Apply
to: Whole document | OK. Even if "One" already appears to be
selected, click on it anyway.

Or does this occur in all new documents? If yes, then locate and
open your Normal.dot file as described in Method 1 in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm . Click
on Format | Columns | One | Apply to: Whole document | OK. Even
if "One" already appears to be selected, click on it anyway. Type
a character or two and delete what you just typed. Save the
Normal.dot file and close it.
