I lose formatting when I change the print settings
I started off a document in a "fax" print setting because I hadn't changed
the default printer yet. This setting compressed the document into about 57 pages or so. However, when I changed the printer settings so I could print to my attached printer, the formatting changed and my document expanded to 61 pages. Is there any way to reprint a document in that original "fax" format so it remains compressed? |

I lose formatting when I change the print settings
Hi ?B?QQ==?=,
I started off a document in a "fax" print setting because I hadn't changed the default printer yet. This setting compressed the document into about 57 pages or so. However, when I changed the printer settings so I could print to my attached printer, the formatting changed and my document expanded to 61 pages. Is there any way to reprint a document in that original "fax" format so it remains compressed? You'd probably have to adjust the margins, change the font size, or change the line spacing. The fax print driver apparently interprets the Word document differently than your "real" printer. This is a known factor with Word documents: each printer driver tends to interpret spacing a bit differently, which can affect where lines and pages break.
