How can I control page viewing options in MS Word 2008?

Hi, I have a small problem which I cant seem to fix even by going into Word Preferences so thought id ask around here.

Say Im on page 1 of a MS Word document and I create a page 2. Instead of appearing below page 1 (ie. vertically), it appears adjacent to it, so I have 2 pages lying open side by side. This is pretty disturbing to my eyes and i want to go back to the normal vertical page alignment. Can anyone help?

PS. I will say, though, that 2 pages open side by side does have its benenfits, specially when you're proofreading a document.

I absolutely love the feature myself, but you can turn it off by going into preferences/view/ and uncheck wrap to window in the window section. You can also resize the window and the page will move to the bottom.

I was a bit hasty marking my question as fully answered. Because your recommended course of action did not work.

When I went into Preferences, the "Wrap to window' box was already unchecked. Checking or unchecking it did not make any difference, I still have 2 Word pages open side by side.

However, resizing the window pushed the 2nd page down. But its still not ideal. What I would like is to have just one page in its entirety displayed in one window.

Maybe this is happening because im using a macbook, never had that issue with my previous Powerbook.

Have you tried just resizing the window and making it smaller? Failing that, try View > Normal
