Default Overlapping Text in 3 Column Document

I have document with 2 continous section breaks. The middle section is
formatted to use 3 columns and the vertical alignment is set to justified.

Many of the pages in the middle section show the text from the top of column
2 overlapping the text at the bottom of column 3. The document is over 1000
pages with most of the pages in the middle section.

The overlapping text disappears:
1. When the vertical alignment of the middle section is changed to top,
bottom or center.
2. If I save the document as Word 2003 and open in Word 2003.
3. If I change the first section break to next page.

Overlapping text still occurs:
1. When I adjust the margins.
2. When I create a new document with different text but the same formatting.
3. When I create similar documents on other machines.
4. If I change the second section break to next page.
5. Whether I create and format in Word 2003 or Word 2007 and open it in Word
2007.

The document prints with no problems but the overlapping text makes it
difficult to proof and edit.

I have attached a sample document with this formatting.

Is this a bug in Word 2007 or do I need to adjust other settings?
