Default Document margins/spacing increase when viewing on different co

On the problem computer, does the paging change to the expected single page
if you start Word in safe mode? Hold Ctrl key as Word is starting, and say
Yes to starting in Safe mode.

Thanks for responding. I looked over the link you provided but no luck.
Both computers have only one single printer installed (other than things
like
Microsoft Image Writer and Adobe PDF) and it is the exact same printer and
print driver. Tried just now to uninstall and reinstall both compters'
printers and print drivers, but same problem exists.

I tried printing test pages from the printer page itself, and both pages
turned out identical. The issue seems to only appear on Word; I don't
have
that issue with printing from Excel or any other application. Any
suggestions?

Thanks.

You fix it by using the same printer driver and printer -- see

I have two computers, both with Microsoft Word 2003. I have a document
that
has a lot of text and small margins, but everything fits one one page
when I
view it on my first computer. However, I tried viewing the same
document on
my second computer and the last five lines of the document end up on a
second
page.

I have tried printing the document from both computers, and it prints
out
just like what it shows on the screen (one page from the first computer,
two
pages from the second). It looks like it may be an issue of top/bottom
margins and the spacing between each line of text (for some reason it
looks
like there is wider spacing on the second printout), but I have no idea
how
to fix it. Any suggestions? By the way, I also tried it on a few
friends'
computers and those all work fine (text remains just on one page). The
second computer (the one with the issues) had the problem for a while,
and I
recently reformatted and reinstalled everything, but the problem is
still
there.

Thanks in advance for any help!
