Text not flowing to right column

In Word 2000, I'm having a strange problem where text
flows to the next page rather than to the right column. On
the second page of a document, after the centered page
heading, I defined two columns "from this point forward."
The text flows properly in the first column, but where it
should flow into the second column it goes instead to the
next page. Even entering a "column break" code from the
menu does not help. It skips the right column and goes to
the next page. Deleting some carriage returns brings some
text from the top of the new page back into the first
column, but at the same time several lines of text just
disappear. They reappear if I put the carriage returns
back in again. I've tried cutting and pasting the various
parts of this document into a new document, but the
problem followed. Help!!! This newsletter is supposed to
be in the mail today and I've been working on this "bug"
since last night.

I assume you're viewing this in Print Layout view or Print Preview? Columns
aren't shown side-by-side in Normal view.

Even without another Continuous break to "balance" the columns, they should
balance at the bottom of the page, so something weird is going on. Check the
paragraph formatting to make sure that you don't have a lot of "Keep with
next" columns chasing each other.
