Different displays with same document on different computers
I have a word document (resume) that fits on 1 page on one computer but when
I view it on a different computer it takes up a page and a quarter. I've made sure the margins, view (print layout), page layout, and font size are all the same for the document on both computers. I do not know how this can be. Any advice/explanation would be greatly appreciated as I want the document to fit on 1 page no matter what computer is used to view it. Thank you! |

Different displays with same document on different computers
Document display varies by default printer, since Word is WYSIWYG.
If you have to have the document always appear the same way, your best bet is to associate the document with a .pdf printer, and save the file in .pdf format. In Word 2007, you can do this by saving to a .pdf file (if you've installed the free converter: -- http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en ). But, you'd need to experiment a little, since it's not implemented as a printer driver. In all versions of Word, something like the free PrimoPDF converted will do the job.
