You have surmised correctly. You don't have to have the actual printer in
order to install the drivers for it. So if you can find out what printer
will actually be used, you could each install that printer's drivers.
Then, whenever you work on that type of document, be sure you remember
to "set" that printer for that document, as Shauna has explained.

That way each of you will be seeing, especially in Print Preview, exactly
what the actual printer will see when it prints that document. Not only
will each of you then be seeing the same thing, but you'll also be seeing
exactly what will be printed.

Two things to remember: Put your OWN printer back for your own document
printingg, and of course, install the "special" printer driver for your
collaboration efforts.

Just rephrasing using different words, hopefully to add clarity. Hope I
haven't confused anything!

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????

Well, you need THAT printer driver in effect WHILE you edit/view the
related documents.


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????

Best case, YES. That would be ideal. If you all had the same printer
driver working, you might all stil SEE the same thing, but ... you might
not be seeing it as the ACTUAL pritnner will print, if you haven't used
THAT printer's driver.

Hi B.W.

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