That sounds like a possible solution. I had a similar problem with a resume that had some custom graphics. When I edited it and added a few punctuation marks and another paragraph the lines started moving around and exhibiting some strange behavior when copied into a word document. I also found it could not be uploaded online because of the way it was originally created even as a .pdf. Maybe something similar is happening here. I have used a similar approach in the past with Notepad to make text behave that has been created with different formats and had absolutely no clue as to why it worked.
