I've got a more recent version of Word and I can't replicate the issue on my version. In earlier versions of Word, I've had problems with list elements and text wrapping but I rarely do this and maybe Microsoft have fixed it now.

It appears that the 'To adjust...' paragraph has a Keep with next setting which might be causing the flow issue on Word 2000. Does the text flow back up if you change the style of those paragraphs to 'Normal'?
