And to add to what the others have said, you may be dead.  I'm assuming the
document in question is in a bookface and pretty standard looking
(novel-ish, or whitepaper-ish.  If not, may God have mercy, etc.

The following may make you deader:

o Any change of face or font size, or weight. o Any indented or centered
sections. o Full-justified as opposed to rag-right. o Changes in the
hyphenation dictionary (US vs. blighty, etc.). o Any kerning applied
(Word's is notoriously spotty).


Line length and page "color" are both remarkably fluid in any
rendering to page or screen.  Then you have the widow/orphan problem.

Why not get a crew cut now, so you're not tempted to pull any hair out?
