SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft Office Word 2007, you use the Compare feature to compare or combine two documents. You then view one of the following:
 * the results of the compared documents
 * the results of the combined documents

Then, you perform one of the following tasks:
 * You save the results as a .PDF file.
 * You print the results.

In this scenario, the results that are in the saved or printed document may not appear the same as the viewed results.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the results of a document that you compare or combine in Word 2007 appear in Web Layout view.

In Web Layout view, certain formatting may appear differently than when the results appear in the Print Layout view. When you save the results as a .PDF file or when you print the results, the results are saved or printed as they appear in Print Layout view.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, view the results of the documents that you compared or combined in Print Layout view.

To view the results in Print Layout view, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click the View tab.
 * 2) Click Print Layout in the Document Views group.
