hi... i wrote a document in microsoft word 2003, but my printer does not work
and i really need to get this printed. my other computer has word 1997, and a
printer, but the document gets messed up when i transfer from 2003 to 1997.
does anyone know how i can do this?

Have you tried saving it as .rtf format?

Yuck! But just in case - did you see if that gibberish worked? (I would at

I'm butting in simply to ask "Why not connect the working printer to the
system with Word 2004?"... Should be a lot easier than trying to force 97 to
handle an '04 doc, I would think.

May be a parallel printer on a system without a legacy port. Or doesn't have
XP drivers. All kinds of fun reasons.
