Default Formatting issue.

Thank you for the information. I'll load both versions on the same machine
and verify the formatting is the same.

Printer drivers can make a difference, yes. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/TextReflow.htm.

You can have both Office 2007 and Office 2003 on the same machine, but see the "Hacking the Registry" section in the article at http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm.

No I am not. I am doing this on two separate machines:
1 - Windows Vista Business - Word 2007
2 - Windows Server 2003 - Word 2003

Both printing to the same printer.

Would the print driver make that much of a difference in formatting?

Can Office 2007 be installed on the same machine as Office 2003 with no
conflicts?

Are you using the same printer driver with both versions of Word?

I have a customized template in Word 2003 with a few different options, e.g.
margins. We then use Office Automation to open a new document using that
template, suck in html that is all formatted with tables, and save as a Word
2003 document.

I have upgraded to Word 2007. I copied normal.dot from above and saved as a
Word 2007 template. We do the same process as above and the document has
more spacing in the tables than with Word 2003. A typial one page document
is about 1 inch longer in 2007 than it was in 2003.

I have made sure the 'Don't add space between paragraphs fo the same style'
check is is UNchecked. Default spacing for the tables is the same in both
templates.

Can anyone provide some direction on why this happens?

Thank you,
