Word 2003 Display formatting abnormally
Word 2003 documents I create on "one particular PC" with one set of margins
look different and pages are formatted (text is moved to a different page) differently on any other PC with the SAME margin settings. PCs have same version of MS Office 2003 Professional. Any ideas how to resolve this will be greatly appreciated. Note: the same issue arises when the document is opened in different versions of Office. Issue only arised AFTER I installed an HP ScanJet 5590 flatbed scanner on "authoring PC" in question . It never happened before...and I've installed all available Office 2003 updates. |

Word 2003 Display formatting abnormally
It's likely due to different default printers in each case. Printer metrics
vary and render the identical Word document differently. For consistency, you'd need to use the identical printer model (maybe even the identical printer driver) in each case. (You can install a printer drive on a computer even if that printer is not available.) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "IslandTech" wrote in message ...

Word 2003 Display formatting abnormally
Hi Herb,
The problem is that the issue is also experienced by people who I send the Word 2003 documents to as attachments. It'll be impractical for all of them to install the HP ScanJet 5590 drivers on their PCs just to allow the documents to display correctly on their monitors.

In that case, if maintaining the exact look of the document is vital, you
should be sending it as a PDF. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
Actually sending the document as a PDF is exactly what I've had to resort to doing to resolve the issue (for now) since MS Office updates didn't do the trick. Just thought there was another workaround. Thanks for your help guys... "Suzanne S.

IslandTech:
If you all have the same tool set, a reasonable compromise might be to set the default printer to Adobe PDF, and exchange documents with that printer setting. Bear |
