Having searched and searched, I cannot seem to find a cure for this problem.

When I open a word document (in a work environment from the network),
everything appears fine. It is usually a letter for instance.

The problem occurs when sending this document to print.

If you select a printer other than the default one, when you click print,
all the formatting of the text goes crazy. I.e. the text is Times New Roman
12 point and all of a sudden it changes a different font 14 point.

This error is replicable but not consistently, sometimes it works okay,
sometimes not. It can also occur on a different workstation.

There maybe an element of text taken from older versions of Word, because
usually a letter is opened, amended and re-saved with a different name.

Can anyone suggest a cause / remedy ?

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice Graham......however, it did not seem to help matters.

To compound matters, it now happens when amending the document and not just
when printing.

I have found that only by copying the text into a blank document seems to
help, but obviously is not a solution to the problem.

Any other suggestions ?
