Document is reformatting when I attempt to print it.
I have a document that is 95 pages long. When I attempt to print the document
my formatting breaks down and it becomes a mess. Also, the document is reduced to 92 pages. What is going on? Thanks in advance. 1969 andy |

Sounds like you've either formatted the document while connected to a
completely different printer, or you've got a bad printer driver. Double-check. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "1969 andy" 1969 wrote in message ...

Hi Andy,
Are you working in Print Layout view? Other views in Word aren't reflective of the print layout when you're editing. ===== "1969 andy" 1969 wrote in message ...

If you have nonprinting characters displayed and the document contains a
significant amount of Hidden text (in the form of XE or TC fields or the like), and you are not printing Hidden text (as by default you won't), there will be a significant (possibly three-page) difference in the length of a 92-95-page document. -- Suzanne S.

hi suzanne
how do I deal with the hidden text? i don't know anything about XE or TC fields. the document is one created in LOTUS WORD PRO saved into WORDPAD and imported into WORD, but do not know if this makes any difference or explains the hidden text. andy "Suzanne S.

On the View tab of Tools | Options, make sure that "Hidden text" is not
checked. But under the circumstances (WordPro WordPad Word), there's no telling what's going on. -- Suzanne S.
