Help with Microsoft Formatting

Are you viewing your document in Word online, in a web browser? In that case, it isn't unusual for the display to differ from a printout, a PDF version or a downloaded document.

To get a more accurate view of your online document, look at the preview you get if you press Ctrl+P.

If you give us examples of the exact formatting discrepancies that you see, maybe someone here could suggest a way to improve the situation.

Dear @Ashley Zblewski, 

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

As a moderator, I don't have the tools to investigate your specific account directly. Because this is a user-to-user support forum so I have the same experience as you and other users in this forum. Moderators, contributors including external Microsoft employees cannot directly intervene in Microsoft product features or access back-end systems. However, I will try my best to guide you as clearly as possible.

To help me assist you better, could you please help me answer a few questions below:

First, if possible, please attach images of the Word file issues you are facing, including: how it looks on the web, how it looks when downloaded to the original computer, and how the formatting changes when downloaded to a different computer.

If you can, please copy that file and send it to me via private message so I can see how it displays on my end.

Note: To access private messages, there will be a notification at the top of your post; please click on "View Message."

What file format are the documents you are opening? Have you tried exporting them to PDF to compare the results?

Please let me know the answers to the above. I will try to use that information to provide specific advice.

I look forward to your support and response!
