forms not working
I am having the following problem with some documents which I have created in
'07 in compatibility mode. When I open in another application, the pagination seems to be off for some people. I have tried opening on another one of my computers, which only has Office 2003, and it opens just as it should. But then when one of my colleagues opens the doc (which, again, was created in '07), she is having the same problems as some others, who are opening with 2003 (or earlier...not sure). In other words, I can open on two computers, in '07 and '03/XP, and have no issues. She and another person are opening in '07 and some older version (am finding out which, to check), and they both have same pagination issues. The issue primarily is text flowing over to extra pages, thus creating the page issues. any help is greatly appreciated. -- Boris |

If the document is already near filling the last page, then opening the document on another computer that has a different printer driver can cause that sort of overflow. It isn't restricted to 07/03 compatibility and can happen in any version. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm. If the two computers have different Windows versions as well as different Office versions, then it may not be possible to get identical printer drivers for them. Then the only recourse is to reduce the amount of "stuff" in the form so there are at least two or three lines of space at the bottom of the last page. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
