Question Word 2010 characters per line glitch

I use Windows 7 and Windows 2010, New Courier Font, with a 55-character line length. When finished typing, I clean up my document, add the headers, delete empty lines at line 1, etc. Sometimes I even print this Version A.



For some reason the document occasionally changes whereby the last line in a paragraph then either loses a character or adds a character, and the pagination throughout changes. I'll call this Version B even though I haven't necessarily saved the document or closed it. My printed Version A no longer matches what I'm looking at on my screen.

And after incorporating all the changes that now need to be made (or unmade) to make Version B look the way it's supposed to, everything flips back to Version A.

How do I keep the final paragraph line consistent and NOT changing? (This situation is akin to when paragraph symbols with an old printer could be character 56, but with a new printer were character 55 or less, meaning I could not reprint old documents and have them match the ones originally printed.)

Some days I'm ready to tear my hair out!

Without actually seeing the problem documents, it can be difficult for anyone to diagnose the issue. Can you attach a copy of each version of the document to a post with some representative data (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab.
