= SUMMARY =

In versions 4.0 and 5.0 Word for the Macintosh, if a substantial part of a multiple-page document has been positioned using the Frame command (Position in Word 4.0), the document may appear to contain only one page in both print preview and page layout views (page view in Word 4.0).

The symptoms of this problem are:


 * Each paragraph has a black square “paragraph formatting” indicator to its left.
 * In print preview, the text runs below the bottom margin of the document. You can verify this by selecting the margin option, the third option from the top in the far-left column of the window (the second option from the top in Word 4.0). Note that the text flows below the margin boundary lines.
 * When you choose Go To from the Edit menu (the Utilities menu in Word 4.0), the insertion point returns to the first page, instead of going to the page you specified.
 * In normal view (galley in Word 4.0), the entire document is visible, but when you scroll through the document past page one, “Page 1” is still displayed in the page number area (located in the lower-left corner of the window).

To correct this problem, remove the position formatting from those paragraphs that have the above characteristics:


 * 1) Select the paragraphs that you do not want to be positioned paragraphs.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Frame (Position in Word 4.0).
 * 3) Choose the Unframe button (the Reset button in Word 4.0).
 * 4) Choose the OK button.
