Does the Layout have a Body part? If it just has Summary and
Sub-summary parts then it won't show data from all records, just
summarise them. It also may not summarise correctly / as expected if
the records are not Sorted appropriately.

As David said, multiple pages might also be a cause. Maybe one of the
Layout parts is set to perform a page break. Badly set margins or
strange page setup sizes may also cause data to go to the next page or
missing off the edge.

Is the Layout using the fields you think it is. It can be easy to
mistakenly use fields via a Relationship rather then directly, for
example.
