I have found another difference. All three computers have Courier, Courier
New and CourierPS installed in the Windows | Font folder. For human factors
reasons, all procedures are required to be printed in Courier. Even though
Courier is installed on the all three computers, it does not show up as an
option in the font list of the computer that is acting different. I don't
think this has anything to do with the spacing between paragraphs, but I
guess it could. What do you think?

Spacing between paragraphs can be affected by the HTML paragraph spacing
option in Tools | Options | Compatibility, but since these options are set
per document and the settings travel with the document, I don't see how that
could be the issue.

Yet another clue from troubleshooting: pages printed from other
applications
(i.e.: outlook, excel, etc) all come out exactly the same from all three
computers. It is only with Word that documents from one computer have more
space between the paragraphs than when displayed or printed on the other
computers.

Thanks for your quick reply summer. I have done some more research and
I
think I asked the wrong question. If the same document is opened on
two
different computers, the spacing that appears between the paragraphs
is
different. When the style is checked, the assigned spacing is the same
on
either computer. However, when displayed or printed, the spacing is
different
enough to throw off the pagination. But more confusing is it only
happens
in
one direction. In other words, documents created on computer 1 will
open
to
look the same on computer 2. But documents on created on computer 2
may
open
on computer 1 with the spacing between paragraphs a few points
different.
The
style pt setting is the same on either computer, but the displayed and
printed results are different.

If Word 2003 on Menu Tools Templates and Addins - uncheck box
"Automatically
Update Styles". Close document and reopen.
If that is not the problem check the individual styles - Modify "Name
of
Style" and uncheck "Automatically update" - you should do this on the
document template not the documents created to solve the problem once
and
for all and then reattach the amended template to the documents
already
created.
Hope this helps.

Two procedure writers use the same procedure template to create
procedure
documents. On occasion, some of the paragraph spacing before the
paragraph
is
changed a few points by a writer to allow manual page breaks to be
placed
in
convenient locations (allowing procedural steps to remain with
associated
notes and warnings, etc). Manual page breaks are used thoughout the
document
to keep strict control on page format. Some of the documents
created by
one
of the writers look fine on the originating computer; however, if
they
are
opened on the other writer's computer, the paragraph spacing
reverts to
the
template setting and auto page breaks can double the pages in the
document.
The "Automatically update template styles" option is not turned on
and
the
Normal template is the same for both users. Any ideas why this is
happening?
