same document is visualized differently in different computers
Hi everybody,
I have a MS Word document with defined styles, that appears different depending on the computer I use to open it (all PCs with the same Word version and Operative System). For example, the cover that is only one page appears in two pages in some computers, fonts seem to be larger, etc. Do you know what can I do? Thanks! Laura |

Laura Word can be very sensitive to differences between printer drivers -- see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm. In particular, the cover page should _not_ be set up with multiple empty paragraph marks, which are the usual cause of overflow of a page that's mostly "empty". Use the paragraph formatting Space Before and Space After, and end the page by (a) formatting the next paragraph with "Page Break Before" or (b) inserting a Next Page section break or (c) inserting a manual page break. There are other formatting practices that can make changing line breaks less likely to cause different page breaks. The only method that really works is to install the same printer driver on all the PCs where you expect to edit the document. To distribute a copy of the document that doesn't need to be edited, convert it to PDF. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
