hi mrwednesday,

That suggests some serious corruption in the affected document. A simple way of fixing such corruption that usually works is:
• go to the end of the document and press Enter to insert a new paragraph
• copy & paste everything except that new last paragraph into a new document
• do the same two steps with your page headers/footers if they don't copy across
• close the old document and save the new one over it.
