Versions of Word
Great, thank you everybody.
B.W. "Pop`" wrote in message ... You have surmised correctly. You don't have to have the actual printer in order to install the drivers for it. So if you can find out what printer will actually be used, you could each install that printer's drivers. Then, whenever you work on that type of document, be sure you remember to "set" that printer for that document, as Shauna has explained. That way each of you will be seeing, especially in Print Preview, exactly what the actual printer will see when it prints that document. Not only will each of you then be seeing the same thing, but you'll also be seeing exactly what will be printed. Two things to remember: Put your OWN printer back for your own document printingg, and of course, install the "special" printer driver for your collaboration efforts. Just rephrasing using different words, hopefully to add clarity. Hope I haven't confused anything! Pop` B.W. wrote: Sorry I haven't explained myself very well. I don't need to print the document just see it correctly, someone else prints it for copying. But I think what is meant that we should all install a printer with it's driver of the printer actually being used to print the final copy. By having that driver on all our machines the three documents would have that driver formatted within the docs and we should all see them the same???? Well, you need THAT printer driver in effect WHILE you edit/view the related documents. It doesn't have anything to do with the printer driver of the printer of the creator of all the docs (a fourth party) does it? It should be the printer driver of the final printout???? Best case, YES. That would be ideal. If you all had the same printer driver working, you might all stil SEE the same thing, but ... you might not be seeing it as the ACTUAL pritnner will print, if you haven't used THAT printer's driver.
