Pagination Differences in Print Layout View and Print Prev..

I’ve read many of the posts related to Print Layout View but I have not seen
an answer or solution to this:

Word’s definition of the Print Layout View is “View the document as it will
appear on the printed page.� However, we have found many instances where
page breaks occur at fairly different places on the Print Layout View then
the do in Print Preview or a hard copy. These are simple documents – no
section breaks, no hard page breaks – just the “normal� page breaks when text
flows from one page to another.

We’ve already been through all the line and page breaks functionality, the
widow/orphan control and understand how all those work. We would just like
to know why a page break in Print Layout View might occur 2 or 3 lines above
or below where it does in Print Preview and how to correct it.

Have you got the non-printing characters displayed in Print Layout View?
