How do I correct formatting on SFDC Doc Gen-- it looks good in create. but preview and generate :(

Hi all-

Thanks for the advice in advance !!

I have created a template from a word document. I added in the merge fields and it looks good and is pulling in good for the create page. I've also added signature and title blocks at the bottom. On the create page everything looks fine and is spaced correctly. When I go to the preview and or generate in salesforce, the bottom pieces are all jumbled together with no spacing for the signature blocks. How do I make sure create looks the same as preview and generate? There's clearly something I missed or something is broken. Thank you.
