Well, another case of "using a crescent wrench to drive a nail..."

Your problem is basically expecting Word to manage a large book, which it
cannot reliably do.  Based on that premise, break the book into separate
chapters and print them separately.  I know this is the tedious way
around the problem, but Word has too many quirk to achieve relaible book
building.  If you think in terms of "word processor" and not "page
publisher" it will help you avoid pushing Word beyond its limits.

Good luck.
