Understandable.
Since you do not use very complicated formatting (that is what you 
write), 'near to absolute assurance' can de reached if you make the 
right preparations.

Use styles for headings,
Tables rather then text boxes if you want to have something positioned 
special. Etc.
Best would be to have some tests with your needs.
Any findings and questions that you can share here, will help others to 
give more specific advise.

HTH,
best,
Cor
