Printed document does not match Word version

[John D]

When I print my document the printed version starts to diverge from the
version I see in Print View in Word. Around page 19 two different printers
start printing a few more lines per page than the page shows in Word.
Eventually, the printed version is on a completely different page than the
Word version. Since I tested this on two different printers, I am guessing
that the doc is corrupted somehow, but I have no idea how.

I would very much appreciate suggestions about repair.

This does not mean that your document is corrupted. Sometimes the screen
implementation of the printer driver is less than perfect. You can decrease
problems with this by using "page break before" formatting in heading styles
that should start a new page. Manual page breaks will make the problem
worse.

Thanks, Charles. I tried to repaginate by marking a number of paragraphs as
"Keep with next". Does that also cause trouble?

No, it does not. For simplicity, you will want to have as much formatting
done through styles as you can. The formatting of "page break before" and
"keep with next" are far better than manual page breaks.
