Default Output Report RTF to Word - Margin Help

I have a number of reports that ouptput to a network share in RTF (Rich
Text Format). The reports all have a report header and footer, a page
header and footer, a group header and footer, and a detail section.

Here's my problem...I am working with Microsoft Access 97--my Access 97
application outputs the report to the network share. Meanwhile, I have
Microsoft Word 2000 installed on my computer. I have already checked
the left and right margins of the report(s) accordingly. I have even
checked the top and bottom margins--this is where I'm at.

For some unknown reason, if I output a report with a 1 inch margin all
around, there are blank pages intermittently throughout each of the
reports. If I reduce the top and/or bottom page margins while the
document is open in Microsoft Word 2000 by '0.5' an inch --then
everything works great. I can reduce the top margin by '0.5' or I can
change the top and bottom margin by '0.25' each, totally '0.5' an inch.
So something is astray.

So I think to myself, just go change the margin in the report so it
will output correctly--no such luck. Even after reducing the top margin
by '0.5', there are still blank pages intermittently throughout the
report(s). But if I reduce the top and/or bottom page margin by '0.5'
while I have the report open in Microsoft Word 2000, then everything is
aligned appropriately and I get no blank pages.

Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point.
Thanks in advance,

Todd
