SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 6.0 and later converts text that has been formatted as side-by-side paragraphs in earlier versions of Word for the Macintosh into a table with the "Allow Row to Break Across Pages" option turned on. (To locate this option, choose Cell Height And Width from the Table menu, and select the Row tab.)
