Hi,

I have a document that displays differently between Word 2000 and Word 2003.
The document is created in 2003 and then saved and reopened in 2000. It
appears that a line wraps at a different point in 2000. For example, I can
delete a single character in 2000 and the layout looks like that of 2003.

I've set the compatibility options to be Word 2000. The machines are the
same, with same printers etc. Is there anything else I can check?

Is there a different between the rendering engines of Word 2000 and 2003?

Thanks

Different printer driver? (Not different printer, different driver.)

I don't believe so - they both share a networked printer and the drivers are
the same

I'm sorry to beat a dead horse here, but if you have different versions of
the OS or installed at different times you can have different printer
drivers printing to the same network printer. This can cause different text
flow. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm

Any other cause is going to involve global macros on one or both of your
systems. That is highly unlikely.

One other possibility that comes to mind is to make sure that under Tools
Templates and Add-Ins the box is not checked to update styles.

I had the same problem with one big document where texts were very precisely
set, and on different machines even the same Word versions text would have
slight differences. So, Word isnt exactly the best tool for this kind text
processing. Exporting to PDF is more reliable. Or perhaps Ms Publisher
(sounds good, though I have never used it)

But solutions...

One other possiblity comes to mind - font file differences. You could embed
font into Word document to test that theory (tools, options, save, check
"embed truetype fonts", re-save your document).

If this helps, synchronize font files.

Printer drivers could be other possibility, if you have different OSes then
drivers certainly are different.
