I have several Word docs posted to the Web for customers to use in a
protected format with form fields for entry. Some have complained the form
prints in 2 pages instead of 1 and they cannot change the margins since it is
protected. How do I handle this?

Best would probably be to decrease the margins, leaving "extra room" at the
bottom of the page. Print drivers interpret Word documents differently, leading
to discrepancies in where it chooses to break text to the next line, or generate
a page break. There's really nothing you can do about that, except to allow for
"breathing space".
