Viewing in Word 2003 after Changes Made in 2007
I have 2007, but have made revisions to docs, and saved them down as other
readers have Word 2003. But these readers are having problems when they view it€¦.There are text boxes(only some, and I checked the size - they are the same size as other text boxes) that are viewing as bigger than what they should be, but they are fine on my end. Some are complaining that content on the bottom of pages goes into the next page€¦.I tried deleting a line, and that doesnt work€¦. He has even sent back the same document that he was seeing this on, and it opens fine on my end€¦. |

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm
If the document is for viewing only download the PDF/XPS plug-in and send the documents in PDF format. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chris wrote: I have 2007, but have made revisions to docs, and saved them down as other readers have Word 2003.

It is actually a document, that they need to fill out for their reports.

If they are to be editable documents, you may have a problem. You should
save in Word97-2003 format with the compatibility option set. Better still might have been to create the forms in Word 2003, but provided you stick with legacy form fields you should be OK - but ultimately you will still have the problem detailed in the link I posted in my previous response. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chris wrote: It is actually a document, that they need to fill out for their reports.

Having the same problem here...
Created a word form with 2007, using only legacy form elements to be careful (ha, not my first problem with MS Office anyway) instead of activex stuff. Form fields are inside a table for formatting reasons (I hate tabs...). When another user opens it with Word 2003, the form entry fields are 3-4x the height they should be for some reason, and it's even worse: after unlocking the form in word 2003, the table rows cannot be resized, seems the form fields have fixed size now for some weird reason. Any ideas? |
