Without at least seeing the document, it's impossible to diagnose. The simplest explanation is that you're Word installation uses a different printer driver (Word uses the printer driver to work out how best to lay out the document). If you install the same printer driver as your client uses, and make that the active one for your transcripts, you should see the same formatting that your client sees. You don't need to actually have such a printer - you're simply telling Word what printer to format the document for.

I don't think it's the printer driver -- I mean the display on the screen.

As I said, Word uses the printer driver to determine how to lay the document out. Naturally, that affects how it appears on screen as well, since what's on screen is supposed to reflect what will be printed.
