Same Word Document Displaying/Printing Same On All But One Compute
On all of my computers except one, Word documents display and print exactly
the same. For example, I am working with a two-page Word document that has 54 lines, which displays and prints correctly as two pages on all but this one computer. On this one computer, which uses the exact same version of Word, with the same setttings on the computer, only 52 lines are being displayed. The rest is cutting off thereby displaying and printing four pages. The computer in question is a laptop that I do not print from, so I've learned to ignore this error, but I'd like to figure out what's going on and fix it. Any suggestions? |

Same Word Document Displaying/Printing Same On All But One Com
Yes but I've gone down that route. I've changed resolutions, the problem
continues. Other applications and Web pages display fine and similarly from computer to computer. It's just Word 2000 that is doing this. And it does it on any document that runs towards the bottom of a page. I don't think that it has anything to do with screen size but I'm up for suggestions as to what settings to change if that were the case.

Same Word Document Displaying/Printing Same On All But One Com
Thanks for the response. I have not printed from this laptop. The bigger
issue to me is that the pages are displaying wrong. So if I edit then e-mail them, the end result is a Word document that is not displaying correctly. All things being equal, Word documents should display the same from computer to computer, right? I have another (work) laptop that displays documents like all of my other computers, what is unique about this one that is causing me this problem?

Same Word Document Displaying Same On All But One Computer
What Word displays is what it would print if you were to print using the
currently selected driver (that's what WYSIWYG means). If you will follow Jay's suggestion and install the same printer driver (or as close as you can get if the OS is different) as on the other computers, you should see a change. -- Suzanne S.

I'm sure that it will come as no surprise to any of you that I do NOT have a printer driver installed on this computer I'm guessing that that will solve the problem, I will post back either way.

Yes, without a printer driver, Word is really working without a net. In
previous versions, you might have found it much less cooperative (some versions would invariably crash if started without a printer driver). -- Suzanne S.
