Word just randomly and got unresponsive for a while. Then suddenly only one page (the first page) of my document is displayed. I can see the rest of the content in read mode, or online in OneDrive. I cannot scroll to the next page and I do not see any options in View. The document has at least 5 pages, but the lower status bar shows 1 of 2 pages instead.

    I am assuming that you are using the Windows desktop version of Word. If not, please indicate.

    Try, as an experiment,

    1. selecting all in your document (Ctrl+A),
    2. creating a new document,
    3. and pasting as plain text in the new document.

    What happens?

    There are a number of ways to hide text in Word.

    Make a copy of your document.

    In the copy, try selecting all text (Ctrl+A) and pressing Ctrl+Spacebar.

    What happens?

    If you print to pdf, what do you see?
