BUG!! Word 2016 fails to print margins correctly / messes up layout (Possible OpenType .otf Font bug)

My ongoing tests show, that  my current Word version 16.0.8.528.2084 32-Bit does not fix the OpenType line spacing calculation bug of Word:

The number of pages calculation is like this:

1. While using fixed line spacing based on pt values (i.e. line spacing is 13 pt or at least 13 pt). I get the identical number of pages in Word and in the converted PDF file, even If I update fields like TOC
2. If I use line spacing values like 1 or 1,1 etc. I get different number of pages in Word on-screen and in the converted PDF.

The situation is full of "Microsoft secrets": If I update my TOC field Word shows for a short time I get the the same number of pages like in the converted PDF. My sample document has 37 pages on-screen in Word and in the converted PDF file. But after some seconds the Word document has 39 pages and the TOC shows of course wrong page numbers. If I update the TOC again, the Word document shows again for a short time 37 pages but changes the number of pages dynamically to 39. Converting to PDF always results in 37 pages.

So Microsoft has not fixed this severe bug yet.

Hi!  I was wondering if you could provide an update on that hotfix?  I've just learned within the last week or so that my entire company is also afflicted by this problem.  We just upgraded to Office 2016 and also use Minion Pro as part of our brand.  No workaround is a satisfactory long-term solution, so I'm wondering if there's any information about when this will be permanently fixed?

thanks!!

This is outrageous. 

They issued an update, but it did even worse, because additionally to the spacing issues, which are not resolved, it's now impossible to view and print out some documents with tables, because some text in the cells is not visible for merged cells (if two cells in two neighbour rows were merged).

Thank you EricQc's for the update. You are the only one that actually is making sense. 

We published our first book (600 page statistic book) using Word 2007 with no problem. I am close to finalizing our second 600 page statistical book only to find I can't convert it to a PDF or even print it properly though it looks great on the screen.

Ironic that I was planning to publish in January. I can't believe that there isn't an uprising and lawsuits.

Outraged.

You are absolutely correct about leading Dieter. I was thinking about the font's "x" height when I wrote that. A single-spaced 12pt face with a large "x" height like Cambria should end up with exactly the same number of lines on a given page as a single-spaced 12pt face like Book Antiqua with a small "x" height.

However, for my project with the incorrect index page numbers, when I did set the line-spacing to an exact value (rather than single spacing), the numbers were still off. This would seem to indicate that the index was using page numbers that had been calculated from the index marker's location rather than the actual page where they existed when the printer driver had done its layout.

My "fix" was to use an inferior alternative to the Adobe Garamond Pro font face that did not use the CFF version of OpenType. I have subsequently redone the book with the Adobe font using the fix suggested from these forums, and the problem was eliminated.
