Are you sure this is due to pages and not text columns? See #3995.

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with text columns - the error only occurs at the end of pages, and as far as I'm aware there's only 1 column of text; see the attached word file for an example.

I believe this issue has been reported in another ticket too, although I may be wrong. Regardless, I can confirm the reported bug in Microsoft Office Word 2010 where there aren't multiple text columns or any complications of the sort. At one point in time, this was extremely frustrating, but as Ashley stated, character navigation and word navigation does land on the next page itself, rather than skipping a page and jumping to the one after that, something I discovered later.

This is not an NVDA specific issue, nor a Word 2010 specific issue. Word can display pages side by side. When Word is set to display multiple pages side by side it is logical that navigating down would move to pages on the left side. The solution is to set word to display only one page at a time. I was able to duplicate this issue in Word 2016, but I do not believe it is an NVDA issue.

Exactly. This can happen if the page is zoomed out enough that 2 pages can fit side by side on the screen, which is easier to occur on a wide-screen monitor and/or with higher screen resolution set. That is why I set the page zoom to "fit width". To do that while a document is opened, press F6 to go to the status bar; press TAB a few times to get to the Zoom button, which displays the zoom value as well and press ENTER on it. In the "Zoom" dialog, from the group of radio buttons, select "Page width" and press ENTER to close the dialog and apply the changes. And unless a document has a specific zoom level specified for it (I think it is possible), Word will apply the selected zoom level for all documents from now onward (in our case - "page width").

I suggest to close this issue since changing the view in the word document solves it actually. Thus, NVDA behaves correctly. This can also be seen in jaws.
