template docs not printing consistently
I have a Word 2003 template used to create biographies of attorneys. On the
left is a text box with a list of standard stats, (law school, languages spoken etc) and on the right is the "body" of the bio. The text box is lines up especially so that the first lines of text are even. On a given PC with the same printer, sometimes the page prints perfectly as it appears on screen and sometimes - without any character changes at all, the print job appears as if someone one has entered some random hard returns above one side or the other so that the lines of the two sections appear skewed, or as I say - "catty-wompus". When I was developing the template, this never happened and I printed dozens of drafts. Now, even at my own - it does this. Is it A) a printer driver issue B) being printed from a new printer then back to my own printer causes mysterious and unseen changes? C) actual hardware problem? or D) Known anomaly in Word templates? I'm apt to choose a driver issue - but how can I fix it so the documents always print pristinely regardless of hardware? |

template docs not printing consistently
We sort of solved the issue. But its very odd, that when the Show/hide non
printing characters on OFF - the document looks cock-eyed, and therefore prints cock-eyed. When Show/Hide is ON (show) its looks perfect, but prints cock-eyed. What the heck is giong on? Why would that make a difference? "mdavison" wrote in message ... I have a Word 2003 template used to create biographies of attorneys.
