SYMPTOMS
When you use the Web Page Preview command to view a document, lines of text at the bottom of the document do not appear.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur in the following situation:
 * You create a document in print layout view.

-and-
 * You insert an AutoShape into the document.

-and-
 * You fill the inserted AutoShape with text.

-and-
 * You view the document in Web Layout view, or you use Web Page Preview, or you save the document as a Web page and view it from a Web browser.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use Web Layout view in Microsoft Word to create a document that you want to view from within a Web browser.

To switch to Web Layout view, click Web Layout on the View menu.

You now see the document as it will appear in a Web browser.



MORE INFORMATION
A Web browser renders text using a slightly different character and line spacing than does the Normal or Print Layout views in Microsoft Word. For this reason, text that fills an AutoShape may appear to be &quot;cropped&quot; when the document is viewed from within a Web browser.
