Word displays only one page in print layout mode

[sash]

Microsoft Word 2002 XP

When I reach the bottom of the page, usually you jump to the next
page. the problem is that that doesnt happen. the text just starts
disapearing and no second page is created. if i go into the normal
view mode i see the entire text, but when i go back to the print
layout there is only one page! even if i open a new document same
problem.
i have an older document that i created before i had this problem and
it has more than one page, and there it will create addiotional pages
if one fills up.

Sincerely Yours,
Sascha

It sounds as if the text is in a text box or possibly a table that has been
dislodged and become wrapped. Neither of these objects can exceed one page
(well, tables can in Word 2002, but that's another issue).

If the text is in a table, go to the Table tab of Table Properties and
select None for Text Wrapping.

If the text is in a text box, right-click the border of the text box, choose
Format Text Box, and on the Text Box tab, click the Convert to Frame...
button. Ignore all warnings. After the text box has been converted to a
frame, Select All (Ctrl+A) and press Ctrl+Q, which should remove the frame.
