Export to Word -- Format Problem

I have an Access that I export to Word using the 'Publish it in Word' command button. The output takes the form of a letter. One field of the report is allowed to expand (let's call the field 'problem resolution'). On page 1 of the report, the 'problem resolution' field begins about 4 inches from the top of the page. As long as the entire field can fit into the first page, everything is OK. If there is lengthy 'problem resolution' text, however, I need the field to continue at the top of page 2.

Here's the problem. The continuation of the text looks as if it is printing about 4 inches from the top of page 2 -- not all the way at the top, as it should. The result is that the page 2 text gets mixed up with other text that prints about 4 inches from the top of page 2.

What it looks like I need to do is to direct the text from the subsequent field (the one that follows 'problem resolution') to begin printing wherever the 'problem resolution' field ended, rather than in a fixed location 4" from the top of the page.

Anyone have any idea of how to do this? By the way, the Access report output looks perfectly fine. The problem only occurs in the Word document.
