Everyone else here is getting the same page layout from Word in print that they see on the screen!?! Honestly more surprised than anything. I don't remember it ever happening.

With default settings, I do. Every document I remember. The only difference is semitransparent header and footer in the GUI. Maybe you've enabled the fullscreen/reader view that usually breaks everything, or it's default on web or mobile. I achieved high proficiency with Office 2013 and honestly, it's not fully WYSIWYG, you have to do things like toggle field codes for some advanced stuff but 99.9 % of work done by Word users is in WYSIWYG mode. As for what-you-see-is-what-you-want? Well, hard no.

Who said anything like that? But also yes. If you're viewing a Word doc in page view, it's going to look the same when you print it. That's true for when you use it as well. Apparently your memory is terrible.
