Word doesn't hold layout across devices

Hi,

I've created a beautiful MS word brochure on my Desktop PC, however when I look at it on another device such as an android or an iPhone, it doesn't maintain the layout or format.

It looks great on a desktop but on an iPhone or Android it looses most of the formatting completely. I'm using Office 365 across various devices.

I've attached some screenshots of the problem and how inconsistent they look.

Saving it as a PDF isn't a solution as the client needs to be able to edit the file.

So frustrating, I hope someone can help me out.

The behaviour is quite normal and is to be expected. It even happens sometimes when you do nothing more than change the active printer or its driver, because Word uses info from the printer driver to optimise the page layout.
