I think I may know what is happening. I discovered this
after a long period of puzzlement.
If you are using paragraph styles, the entries in the
fields appear with the formatting of that style. In our
case, for example, we used a one-inch left indent.
Therefore, in the fields our entries appeared indented
one inch.
Apparently, if you have a heading with points of space
before it, the text will appear lower in the field and
may appear with only its tops visible.
You may want to make all of your styles have the
vertical space they require _after_ the style and not
before. In this way you can avoid the "tops of the
trees" problem.
