Sorry I haven't explained myself very well. I don't need to print the
document just see it correctly, someone else prints it for copying.

But I think what is meant that we should all install a printer with it's
driver of the printer actually being used to print the final copy. By
having that driver on all our machines the three documents would have that
driver formatted within the docs and we should all see them the same????

It doesn't have anything to do with the printer driver of the printer of
the
creator of all the docs (a fourth party) does it? It should be the
printer
driver of the final printout????

TIA

Hi B.W.

Open the file. File Print. Choose your printer. Click Close (not OK).

Hope this helps.

Thank you for that information.

So if we find out what printer, make and model finally prints out the
newsletter, which then gets photocopied. Install it's driver on all
our
machines, how then do we go about opening the documents onscreen but
using that driver?

TIA

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.
