Default Text moves on saving

Using Publisher 2002, when I save a document of several
pages, approximately an inch or so of text jumps from one
page to the next page in linked text boxes. When I go
back to the previous page, text usually reverts to the
proper place. Sometimes, I have to delete a blank line to
make the text come back, then later I will have to put
that line back in. When I save again, text jumps again.

1. Did you set up your own text box margins?
2. Does this happen if you have chosen a different printer as your saved
printer? (if you have a secondary printer)

Hi Brian

I set my own text box margins and am using my own template, with my own text styles.
I tried another printer. I usually print on a network printer and set it for a local printer.
The same problem occurred.

Are you noticing that if you double check your margins that you set, are
those margins changing from the settings you designated.

Hi Brian,
The template I use has evolved through various versions of Publisher. In looking more closely at it, I see some variations.
My template starts with 7 blank pages, with one large text frame on each page. The first three pages have a text box margin of .04". The next four pages have a margin of .0396". These last text frames are also slightly larger on the page. I likely started with a three page template and later added another four pages. In comparing my present document with the template, I can see no changes in either the text box margin, nor in the size of text boxes, except where I shortened the box to include a graphic at the bottom of the page when a particular sub-topic ended.
I often shorten frames for the convenience of sub-topics. I seldom alter text frame margins.
The document I am working on was proving particularly difficult yesterday. Finally it would not readjust to proper layout even when I returned to the first page. So I had to delete a blank line on the first page. Since then I have had no text jumping onto the next page. (I have deleted lines in the past only to find out that I eventually needed to put them back so the text would line up with the illustration.)

Thanks,
Jan

If this is a super old template getting used over and over, you should try
to create a new template with new text boxes etc. Over time, this template
may become corrupt and display such odd behavior as you see now.

I will try making a new template. Unfortunately I have about a dozen or more text styles so it will take a while and will have to wait until the two documents I'm presently working on. Oh, well.
Thanks for your suggestions.
