Same document looks different in Word 2003 and Word 2000
I have one computer that runs Word 2003 and one that runs Word 2000, they
both print to the same printer. The same document will print differently from each version. Why is that and how do I overcome it? HELP! |

Why is that and how do I overcome it? You can do a lot to make it better (make sure that all used fonts are installed on both system, that there's no font substitution happening through the printer drivers, that the compatibility options are set to the older version, etc.; but the last 10 % of changes is something you probably cannot overcome.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm. It isn't the change
from Word 2003 to Word 2000 or back that causes what you are seeing, but having a different printer driver (even with exactly the same printer). -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

Thanks. I'll check it out. Could be two different printer drivers.

Will look to see what printer drivers are installed on both machines. What
gets me is it looks different on the screen on both machines. Would the printer drive do that too? "Charles Kenyon" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm.

OK. I checked both machines. They are set up identically yet see the
document differently and print it differently. Could my Word 2003 be corrupt and need to be re-installed? "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Yes.
