Default Seeing a different amounts of pages in the same Word document

OK,

I suspect the issue may be with the use of hidden text. That is, Word on one PC is set to display hidden text, the other is not -
and everything after Appendix 1 has been formatted as hidden text. You can toggle this via Tools|Options|Display and the printing of
hidden text via Tools|Options|Print (both assuming you're using Word 97-2003 - for Word 2007 both the display and print checkboxes
are under Word Options|Display).

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Both users are linked to the same networked
printer.

Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Such a large difference is almost certainly due to the use of hard page breaks and/or styles with 'page break before'
characteristics, combined with the use of different printer drivers on the PCs concerned. To lay out a document, Word gets
information from the printer driver as to what the printer can do and adjusts everything to suit. Apparently, the page breaks
suit
the designated pages for one PC/driver combo but not the other.

At work, I open a Word document and it is 41 pages long. My colleague
opens the same file from the same place on the network and they have
62 pages. Why could this be?

It's nothing to wo with the way view we have of Word. The doument I
open stops att Appendix 1 but the one my colleague opens goes on to
appendix 3.
