The formatting of your document depends on your printer driver. If you
created your document with it set to one printer driver, it's not
unexpected for it to change a bit when you print to a different
printer driver.

Have you tried selecting the entire document and Condensing it by 0.1
pt.? (2nd tab of Format Font.)

I am preparing a document for a conference, which has a 6-page limit.
When I view my document in Word, it takes exactly 6 pages, even after
Print Preview (which updates all cross-references).


Then I print to a PDF file using the Adobe PDF printer. *Egads! *The
PDF is 2 lines longer than 6 pages! *I look back at the Word file. *It
is also 2 lines longer than 6 pages. *So I save the now-altered Word
file as a 6.1-page version and close all Word documents to ensure that

it's 6-pages again!


I try again to print to PDF, and both the PDF and the Word files
become 6.1-pages.


Needless to say, the issue is...perplexing (and I'm being very
understated here).


I am using Word 2003 on Windows XP, and I'm using the conference paper
template "WCECS 2010 Proceeding Templates" athttp://www.iaeng.org/WCECS2010/ICSEEM2010.html,


If you can propose an explanation for this conversion of 6-page to 6.1-
page, and maybe a workaround, I'd much appreciate it.-
