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 the Word process is terminated. When I re-open the 6.1-page version, 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" at http://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. |

I've troubleshot this down to a selection of the printer. Maybe there
some font mapping is going on. When I change printers from local real printer to Adobe PDF printer, the entire document changes slightly so that it is 6.1 pages. If I change back to the local printer, the document becomes 6 pages again. This is quite an insiduous problem...it's going to be quite a challenge pairing away 2 lines (actually four lines in single-column) since everything is hyper- terse.

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.)

That is prohibited. People have abused that trick through the ages. :

OK, I managed to squeeze a few lines away and make the page count.
The approach I used was to float figures to the top/bottom of their pages so that I don't need a swath of white space both above and below each figure. I used the procedure at http://www.ai.uga.edu/mc/FloatFigWord..pdf. Thanks, all.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated for
Word2007, but many of the parameters look the same. Too bad its reference point is LaTeX. In FrameMaker, you can choose from a wide range of figure positions -- including within the text if it's where you want it (that might be done for a very small table, though probably never for a figure), but it implies that such things can _only_ be set to "floating" in LaTeX.

Ohhh...I used FM for years. Such a perfect document preparation
