Word 2003 files limited to one page

[KT]

I can't get Word to display more than one page. It used to. I tried repair to
no avail. I must have accidentally set something wrong? More than one page of
text that I have typed is stored somewhere because if I delete something, the
next text that I entered will show up.

A little more info might help.

Is it only one document that is affected, or is it all your documents?

Is the document in a table? (or has it been accidentally put into a table?)
If so, try setting the table properties to allow the row to break across
pages.

What view are you using? Does this behavior change if you change views?

How does it print? Does the entire document show up, or just one page?

What happens if you place your cursor at the bottom of the page and then use
the arrow keys to move off the page? Does text appear, or does your cursor
just disappear?

All - also, if I save individual pages to my flash drive and use another
computer to try to combine the pages into one document, I still only get one
page after I copy and paste a second onto the end of the first.

Go to the Format | Columns dialog. Click the preset picture for One (even if
one column is already selected), then click OK. If this solves the problem
in a given document, you will need to repeat the process in Normal.dot; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm for instructions to
find and edit it.

Halelujah! Thank you and I don't know how it happened either except that I
was trying to do something with columns and maybe in the options somewhere
you can make what you've done the default. THanks sooooo much!

It's just an odd bug that somehow crops up. No one has been able to figure
out exactly how it happens.
