THE WORK AROUND -
In page layout view, minimize the white space between pages. This,
for some reason, works. To do this:

1. To hide the white space, hover your cursor on the break between
pages until you see the tool tip “Hide White Space”

2. Perform a single left click of the mouse and the gap should close.

3. To make the white space reappear, simply left click in the gap
between the pages when the tool tip displays “Show White Space”

The issue is a known bug that Microsoft has yet to correct in nearly
three years. FIX IT MICROSOFT!
