Default Wrong number of pages

I have a document of 30 pages.
When the receiver opens the document it is 41 pages.

Has this something to do with the paper size setup on his computer?

It could be related to the use of a different printer (actually the printer
driver), as explained in
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm, but that effect
isn't usually so pronounced as to add an extra 50%.

Do check the page size in both the Page Setup dialog and the printer's
Properties dialog called from the Print dialog. Also check the Scaling
setting in the Print dialog.

Look through the list of compatibility options in the Tools Options dialog
to be sure they're all set the same way. Also look at the font substitution
setting in the same dialog -- maybe the recipient doesn't have one or more of
the fonts being used in the document, and a larger font is being substituted
for it.

This can easily happen if there a numerous hard page breaks, and they don't suit the page layout specifications for the user's
printer.
