space between words
I'm a new user of Word (2007) with a WinXP SP3 system. I've used WordPerfect
for many years. Recently, I brought into Word a letter, with my letterhead, that I had created in WP. I deleted the body of the letter and typed a new letter. It looked fine on screen; but when I printed it, there were all sorts of weird spacings. For example: extra spaces between some words (the text is left justified only) a hypen that ran into the previous letter rather than appearing between two letters an em dash with a space before it I saved the letter as a .doc file and brought it into WordPerfect. It printed fine there. What's likely to be the problem? Thanks much! Jo-Anne |

I would suspect something with the Printer driver. See if there is an
updated version available on the Printer manufacturer's website. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Thank you for the suggestion, Doug; but I think it's something else. If I
bring into Word a full WordPerfect document rather than cutting and pasting from a WP document, the printing is fine. I just tried playing with cut-and-paste between WordPerfect and Word, and it looks like if I do a "paste special" and pick unformatted text, it prints OK in Word. Nothing else works for printing pasted material. Jo-Anne "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ... I would suspect something with the Printer driver.

Then it comes back to a printer driver issue. Make sure that you have the
latest driver from the manufacturer's support site, then delete and reinstall the printer. Terry "Jo-Anne" Jo-AnneATnowhere.com wrote in message ... Looks normal in Print Preview.

Thank you, Terry! But why, then, does the printer work fine in all other
programs--from WordPerfect to email to webpages? Jo-Anne "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Then it comes back to a printer driver issue.

Because Word uses the printer differently (and much harder) than other apps.
In fact, Word won't work at all without a compatible Printer driver set as the Windows Default. Word interrogates the printer driver constantly to work out how the printer should print the page: every printer is different. Terry "Jo-Anne" Jo-AnneATnowhere.com wrote in message ...
