Default Word document opens different when using XP and Vista

I completed a document on Word 2007 on a XP computer. I then opened the
document in Word 2007 on a Vista computer and some of the styling and spacing
was different? Is there a way I can fix this?

Hi Shane,

Many aspects of the appearance of a Word document are determined by the
printer driver associated with the document. If you have different printer
drivers on the two computers, what you are seeing is expected.

To see it the same on both computers they would both have to have the same
set of printer drivers installed and set to be used. Word uses them to
create the display onscreen.
