= SUMMARY =

When creating auto-numbered footnotes in Microsoft Word, if you use font sizes that are not installed on the System, there may be a difference between the number of pages shown in Print Preview and the number of pages that print out. The problem is more obvious when the footnote numbers reach three digits. For example, if a line of text contains a three-digit footnote, such as 100, and the font of that footnote is not an installed font size, the footnote may cause the text on the screen to word wrap. If it does, the text on the printout may not word wrap where it does on the screen, but may word wrap later.

This problem seems to appear only with footnote font sizes that are not installed on the System, so a possible solution is to find a screen version of that font so that Word will display it correctly. Another possible solution is to change the font size of the footnote to one that is installed, such as 10 points, since Word’s default font size for footnotes is 9 points.
