I worked on a 47-page document (version 6) that had numbered headings 1 thru
4. Onscreen it looked just fine but when I printed it, Heading 1 on page 28
had receded into the previous paragraph with no heading number attached; then
a couple of pages further down a Heading 2 had done the same thing.

Again, onscreen everything looked fine, but the print job didn't (I tried
two different printers). If time had allowed I would have created a new
document, but it was a rush job; but having more faith in my typing skills
than my troubleshooting ones, I retyped those two pages and sent the document
on its way with a warning of its unstable condition.

For future reference, is there a quick fix or a permanent one for this
situation?

As always, thank you!


What should I have looked for first of all.
