= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word, text that follows a page break may be forced into the next column rather than to the next page when a manual page break is inserted in a section that is formatted with multiple columns. This will happen when the page break is inserted in any column except the last. The text after the page break will shift to the next column instead of to the next page.

To force the column to move to the next page instead of the next available column, do the following:


 * 1) Where the new page should begin, insert a section break by pressing COMMAND+ENTER. (In Word 5.0, choose Section Break from the Insert menu instead of using the key command.)
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Section.
 * 3) For Start, select New Page.
 * 4) Choose the OK button.
