Hmmm,
Be careful. In Office you can define a page as multiple column. It you
must change the column break control you then end up with side by side lines
of text from each page following each other instead of making it a single
column page.
If you look through the formatting choices in the menu bar you should see a
choice for cooumns. It will have the choice to make it a 1 column page.
This will make the right side column follow the left column but below it.
I hope this helps. If not let me know and I'll try to put together a step
by step description.

Finally got a chance to check this out, and the column breaks in
that book were not a ^n . So I now have two weird codes that
were in it, the section breaks that weren't found by the section
break codes, and the column breaks, which weren't standard word
column breaks. I did get all the formatting fixed another way,
but I'd sure love to know what all those codes really were.
