Thank you for replying so promptly and with so much detail.

In order to convert to .pdf, I "print to the .pdf" driver. It's not a "real
printer", is it? Forgive me my ignorance but I haven't actually printed out
my document yet. I just need to convert it to .pdf. I "print to the Adobe
driver" to convert to .pdf. How can I set my document to print to the same
driver on both computers when it's not a real printer?

I'm pretty sure my document is not using any advance features of Word 2007.
It's a basic manuscript. I would like to work on it on my Mac and work on
spelling and formatting details. I need to keep the manuscript to exactly
360 pages so it's useless to work on my Mac because the number of pages
changes when I go back to my PC. I've already prepared the spine width of
my book cover, so I don't want to do that all over again so I want to keep it
to 360 pages always.

I have check all margins, paper sizes set up in the printer, spaces for
headers/footers.

I will check my styles but that will be very tedious. Is there a way to
print out all the styles I've used on one computer? That would streamline
the process a great deal.

Will the fonts take up the same amount of space on both computers? I'm
using Adobe Garamond on both computers. I will double check the font usage
in the document on both computers.

Please explain what togglng to optimize layout will do?

I had thought about running windows on my Mac but am running out of
harddrive space as it is.

Thanks for the suggestions. At least I know I've done my best to make it
work.
