Default Versions of Word

Hi B.W.,

Differences in installed fonts, different printer drivers being used under File=Print (you don't have to actually need to have a
specific printer to use the driver there, just don't print with it if you don't have it g) and different versions of Word (as well
as different paper sizes (i.e. if one of you is using letter size and another A4) can all affect how Word reflows the text (i.e.
Word isn't a page layout software package), but a text document reflow package).

=============

Three of us are updating a monthly newsletter. When I receive their copies
via emails I see things differently to them and vice versa.

For example, a text box will overflow when I see it but they create it and
see it correctly. If I change the lines in a table making them draw lines
instead of typed ones and move them around slightly to line them up they see
them all to one side?

I have not checked this out with them as yet but if we are all running
different versions of Word could this be the reason?

TIA

B.W.
