Hi everybody,
I have a MS Word document with defined styles, that appears different
depending on the computer I use to open it (all PCs with the same Word
version and Operative System).
For example, the cover that is only one page appears in two pages in
some computers, fonts seem to be larger, etc.
Do you know what can I do?
Thanks!
Laura
Word can be very sensitive to differences between printer drivers -- see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm.
In particular, the cover page should _not_ be set up with multiple empty
paragraph marks, which are the usual cause of overflow of a page that's
mostly "empty". Use the paragraph formatting Space Before and Space After,
and end the page by (a) formatting the next paragraph with "Page Break
Before" or (b) inserting a Next Page section break or (c) inserting a manual
page break. There are other formatting practices that can make changing line
breaks less likely to cause different page breaks.
The only method that really works is to install the same printer driver on
all the PCs where you expect to edit the document. To distribute a copy of
the document that doesn't need to be edited, convert it to PDF.
