Paging issue
(Office 2007 Ultimate - but issue applies to all versions of Word)
I produce a Word doc. Paging is fine on this PC. If that doc is opened on different PC, the paging is all wrong - pages break in different places - usually earlier than original (apart from hard page breaks of course) Paper size is the same (A4 Portrait); margins show to be the same (2cm each top, bottom, left, right). Is it because of a different default printer on the different PCs? Can anything be done to fix it? It's a real PITA. Thanks Paddy |

More specifically, it's the different printer drivers, which Word consults to get letter widths and such. That in turn can affect line breaks, which go on to change page breaks. About the only thing you can do is to install the same driver on both PCs and select that driver as the printer in Word when editing the document. The printer doesn't have to be physically attached to the computer to do that. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm for discussion. -- 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. |

Still a PITA, though! Paddy |
