Hello Emily,
first of all I advise you to design your document in "Print Layout" of the
document.
From the upper toolbar pick "View - Print layout"
Second of all, try to use standard fonts. Sometimes, if you use crazy fonts,
they are printed in very strange way.
Before you print the document, you should always check in in print preview.
Upper toolbar - File - Print Preview.
That gives you an idea how the document will look like.
