SYMPTOMS
When you use the Web Page Preview command on the File menu to view a Microsoft Word document in a Web browser, some of the lines of text at the bottom of the document may not be displayed as expected.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * You create a document in Print Layout view.
 * You insert an AutoShape into the document.
 * You fill the inserted AutoShape with text.
 * You view the document in Web Layout view or by using the Web Page Preview command. Or you save the document as a Web page and view it in a Web browser.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use Web Layout view in Word to create any document that you want to view in a Web browser.
 * To switch to Web Layout view in Microsoft Office Word 2003 and earlier versions, click Web Layout on the View menu.
 * To switch to Web Layout view in Microsoft Office Word 2007, click Web Layout in the Document Views group on the View tab.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, configure AutoShapes to automatically resize to fit the text in your document. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) In Word, switch to the document that contains the AutoShape with the missing text.
 * 2) Right-click the inserted Vertical Scroll AutoShape, and then click Format AutoShape to open the Format AutoShape dialog box.
 * 3) In the Format AutoShape dialog box, click the Text Box tab, click to select the Resize AutoShape to fit text check box, and then click OK.



MORE INFORMATION
A Web browser displays text by using a slightly different character- and line spacing-protocol than do the Normal and Print Layout views in Word. Therefore, text that fills an AutoShape may appear to be cropped when the document is viewed in a Web browser.
