That has nothing to do with the OP's problem.

Well, that was very friendly.
Anyway, I've seen all these effects when converting a file from one version of Word to another. Especially from a newer to an older version.
Regardless of what it should or should not do, just check the page size, margins and fonts. If any of these are different from the original version on the original machine the layout will be changed.
A tiny change is margins (rounding from mm to inch units say) can be enough to make one line roll over.
I mentioned setting pagebreaks in the style definition as that formats correctly without you having to manually insert breaks.
I've dealt with enough files with headings pushed to a new page with linebreaks that this is worth saying, obvious though it seems.
If layout really is so critical, you should finalise in a DTP layout program, like InDesign, PageMaker, etc., rather than Word which feels free to move things around.
