Cannot "Page Setup" feature

[Jim Chaffee]

Good morning
I have been editing a book of ca 170 pages. Up until last Thursday I could
access "page setup", the "Column" feature of the "Index and Reference" etc. I
do not know what I might have done; however, now the Table of Contents show
only 20 pages even though the entire book is present, the "Page Setup" is
grayed out and I cannot access it, and other features suich as restoring the
two column format for the indices at the end of the book no longer function.
Can you tell me what I may have done and how to fix it. I tried just copying
the file and inserting it into a new document to fix the problem; however
that did not work.
Thank you in advance for any help you might give me.

If the problem is a corrupted document, as seems likely, that corruption is
probably in the invisible data that Word stores in the structure represented
by the last paragraph mark in the document. An often successful technique is
to copy everything except that last paragraph mark, and paste into a new
blank document.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm for this and other
suggestions.

Is there a possibility that a portion of the book has inadvertently gotten
typed or pasted into the endnotes or index section?
