print preview/printer driver questions
I have read the article on the Word FAQ titled "Why does the appearance (or
layout) of my document chnage when I open it on a different machine." I have a 4 follow up questions: 1. The article speaks about not using page breaks as they exacerbate the problem. What about section breaks? 2. Does using Word's print preview give a valid and true view of the document's page layout for the printer selected? 3. Does having the printer's driver loaded onto a user's PC automatically make that an available printer to the user when they select print preview? 4. Can the driver be loaded on the user's PC without giving them actual access to that printer? Here's why I ask. We have restricted access to a color copier/printer. The support staff, who get involved in doing the actual hard copy printing of proposals, have access to the color copier/printer. However, the people who actually produce the proposals do NOT have access. This cannot change. I am HOPING that by just having our IT people load the color copier/printer's driver onto all the involved user's PCs, they'll be able to choose it from Word's print preview feature; and, that Word as a result will present to them the real, finished page layout of the document. My goal it to alleviate print production headaches when you are in the 11th hour trying to get a proposal out the door and find out page breaks or other page layout items have shifted. Advice and suggestions are welcomed. |
