I recently purchased a new notebook with Vista. The documents that I created
on my other computer with windows xp are not formattd properly 0 they are
much too long. EX if it is a one page document in xp it is 1 1/4 page in
Vista. This is affecting hundreds of documents and I can't even seem to fix
one. It is worse if there are tables, but it is in nearly all of the word
documents. Can you help?

Vista will be using a different printer driver. See

Thank you so much. This totally fixed the issue ---- and savbed me a lot of
time trying to "fix" the problem. Will the fix cause any other issues that I
should know about?

Thanks again,
Terri

It's hard to say without knowing what you did to "fix" it.

checking the €œUse printer metrics€� check box on the Compatibility tab of
Tools | Options

Thanks again,

Compatibility Options are set per document; they are not global. So anything
you set there will not affect any other documents.
