[comp.windows.ms] Dissappearing characters

Has anyone experience a problem of missing lines with Word for Windows?

When I compose a multi-page document and display it on the preview screen.
Everything looks fine whether I'm in draft or page mode.  However when I print
the document out on my geniune IBM Proprinter, I lose the first .5" of text on
every page after the first.  What can I do?

Me too! The page preview shows the top two lines, but they don't print on my
Star NX1000 configured as an LX800.

Also, when I start Word for Windows and start typing, it comes up with what I
believe is the WYSIWIG font edit interface, (and not the draft mode). In this
mode, typing is really screwy! You type, and things start wrapping to the next
line like a mile away from the right margin, etc. Of course, when you preview
and print it, the break *is* supposed to be where it shows up on screen, but
the effect is very disturbing. I keep thinking that I hit return at the end
of the line because it terminates so much before the right margin, and I keep
going back and trying to delete the imaginary paragraph break. Perhaps 
Win 3.0 will cure the problem, perhaps reading the manual will. I am using
Windows/386 v2.11 on a 20MHz 386 with 800x600x16 mode SVGA from Paradise.
