Word 2007 Continous Breaks Question

[kben]

I have a document with 2 continous section breaks. The middle section is
formatted to use 3 columns and the vertical alignment is set to justified.

The middle section of many of the pages show the text from the top of column
2 overlapping the text at the bottom of column 3.

How can I fix this?

Does this happen in a particular document only, or you can you reproduce it
in any document?

Thank you so much for responding!

I can reproduce in any document. The documents print with no problems but
the overlapping text makes it difficult to write, proof and edit.

In addition,

The overlapping text disappears:
1. When the vertical alignment of the middle section is changed to top,
bottom or center.
2. If I save the document as Word 2003 and open in Word 2003.
3. If I change the first section break to next page.

Overlapping text still occurs:
1. When I adjust the margins. (This fixes it in documents that are only a
couple of pages but does not fix it in larger documents and the documents I
am working with are more than 1000 pages.)
2. When I create a new document with different text but the same formatting.
3. When I create similar documents on other machines.
4. If I change the second section break to next page.
5. Whether I create and format in Word 2003 or Word 2007 and open it in Word
2007.

I can reproduce it too (just tested). It seems like a bug.
