My document looks different on two different computers
Hello-
I am editing a Word 2003 doc on two different computers (both use Word 2003), transferring the doc back and forth via email. When I open it on computer #1, it is always shorter (13 pages) than on computer #2 (~13.5 pages); there are more words on each page. I have checked the margins, two-column sizing, paragraph settings and line spacing, headers/footers, everything I can think of, and it all matches - after all, it is the exact same document. From the Office website, I even checked that Tools | Options | Compatibility | "Use printer metrics to lay out document" was checked, and it was. This is important to me because I am working against a page limit, but I don't know what the "actual" page count is (or what it will be for the editor who formats the document), because I can't find any difference in formatting. Any clues? Thanks, Steve |

Thanks, that did the job. You are the greatest.

Make sure that you have at least *a* driver for the same printer installed and selected when you do the editing (the printer need not be physically available to the computer). -- Suzanne S.
