I understand this and if the fluctuation will occur only on pages with chapter headings I would accept this. But it really looks to be random.


There are no sub/superscripts and just 24 chapter heading on +-672 pages.

This is what I expect, frankly... But have not achieved.

Some versions of Word document formats treat spaces at the top of the page differently - perhaps you could try looking at the Compatibility Mode of your Word 2013 document or also look at the document layout options at the bottom of the Options > Advanced area.

I'll study this, thanks.

If you varied the bottom margin by 1mm, you might discover that every page now contains 30 or 31 lines exactly. What about changing by 2mm? There may be a sweetspot where you get consistency on the line count.

Wow. I'll try. Thank you.
