My secretary had a problem similar to what you described with a file that  
was made using a WordMarc editor on an IBM-PC and saved in ascii.  Looking  
at the file using emacs showed there were ^M characters at the places  
where the text disappearred.  Doing a query-replace of the ^M with a space  
cured the problem.
