Word works fine for printing RFC's (txt version). However, you may need to decrease 
the Top and Bottom margins a little to fit it on one page. To make all pages 
identical, you should also add one line at the beginning of the document (page brakes 
are interpreted as page brake + new line which adds one empty line in top of page 
2...end, but not on page 1). But as you say, page brakes are preserved.
