Default Page count fluxuates

I am preparing a document for a conference, which has a 6-page limit.
When I view my document in Word, it takes exactly 6 pages, even after
Print Preview (which updates all cross-references).

Then I print to a PDF file using the Adobe PDF printer. Egads! The
PDF is 2 lines longer than 6 pages! I look back at the Word file. It
is also 2 lines longer than 6 pages. So I save the now-altered Word
file as a 6.1-page version and close all Word documents to ensure that
the Word process is terminated. When I re-open the 6.1-page version,
it's 6-pages again!

I try again to print to PDF, and both the PDF and the Word files
become 6.1-pages.

Needless to say, the issue is...perplexing (and I'm being very
understated here).

I am using Word 2003 on Windows XP, and I'm using the conference paper
template "WCECS 2010 Proceeding Templates" at http://www.iaeng.org/WCECS2010/ICSEEM2010.html,

If you can propose an explanation for this conversion of 6-page to 6.1-
page, and maybe a workaround, I'd much appreciate it.
