Re: Printing in Office 2004 vs. Office X

Can you describe *how* the font and margins are different?

Does your page count change from Office X to Office 2004?

The document looks the way you want it to in Print Preview for Office 2004,
but it prints differently from what Print Preview shows? Is that really
what you said?

If so, check your printer settings and make sure "draft font" isn't checked,
or anything. By any chance, is the doc all squeezed up into the top left
corner, with big right and bottom margins?

Other people have reported page breaks being in different places from Office
X to Office 2004, but that was due to lines breaking at a different place,
possibly more spacing between words, or something. The fonts still looked
basically the same--the margin difference was maybe .25 inch--I don't think
anyone would have noticed if not for the difference in page count, in that
case.

You are using Times New Roman you said. What is this doc, by the way?
Screenplay, dissertation? What are the problems in the presentation you see
in Office 2004?

Nope. Did all that you suggested. Still, when I open, in Word 2004,
the document that was created in Word X, and print it, the font and the
margins are different. I could adjust the font and the margins, I
suppose, but then the page count is completely off.

I am trying to print a document that was created in Office X. When I
open that document in Office 2004 and print it, it looks different on
the page - different margins. When I look at it in Print Preview, it
looks as it should. None of the margins in the document have been
changed. It just looks different printed in 2004. Fortunately, I can
still open the document in Office X and print it out that way, but of
course I would prefer not to have to do that. When I installed Office
2004, I did it by uninstalling the Test Drive program, and doing a
standard (not custom) install. What do I need to do to ensure the
document prints properly in 2004? Thank you
