Formatting documents independant of the printer
Dear Wordexperts,
we are using MSWord 11 on different Computers in a workgroup. Several people are working after each other on a word document, having different printers (different printer types !) and the document looks different depending on what printer is the default printer for each user. (WYSIWYG) Is there a possibility to set up Word to use the same page layout on every printer used, so the page looks the same independent of the printer used ? Regards F. Will |

You can install a "common" printer on all of the PC's and if the user
selects that Printer under FilePrint, the document should appear the same to all. It is not necessary for the printer to be actually connected to the PC. -- Hope this helps.

For some tips, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm. Be
sure that the Compatibility Option to "Use printer metrics to lay out document" is not checked; I'm told this makes the document more device-independent. -- Suzanne S.
