Re: Document margins/spacing increase when viewing on different co

The only thing I can think of that would cause a difference would be the
printer driver (which would still affect documents in Safe Mode).
Compatibility and Page Setup settings are saved with the document, so they
wouldn't change between computers, and the version of Word shouldn't make
any difference, either, but a different OS (which will guarantee a different
printer driver) or a difference in font versions installed, could make the
difference.

Choose File - Page Setup on both computers with that document loaded, and
compare the top and bottom margins. Are they identical? Check the settings
in each of the three tabs in this dialog and see if there are any
differences.

The other possibility would be that some of the compatibility settings are
different. But, I would have thought that starting in Safe mode would have
neutralized that problem. Nonetheless, just to be sure, try Tools -
Options - Compatibility, and verify that both computers' settings are
identical for the options shown.

All of this assumes that both computers are running the identical version
of
Word (including the same SP level).

Nope, the problem is still there even in safe mode.

On the problem computer, does the paging change to the expected single

if you start Word in safe mode? Hold Ctrl key as Word is starting, and
say
Yes to starting in Safe mode.

Thanks for responding. I looked over the link you provided but no
luck.
Both computers have only one single printer installed (other than
things
like
Microsoft Image Writer and Adobe PDF) and it is the exact same
printer
and
print driver. Tried just now to uninstall and reinstall both
compters'
printers and print drivers, but same problem exists.

I tried printing test pages from the printer page itself, and both
pages
turned out identical. The issue seems to only appear on Word; I
don't
have
that issue with printing from Excel or any other application. Any
suggestions?

Thanks.

I have two computers, both with Microsoft Word 2003. I have a

document on
my second computer and the last five lines of the document end up
on
a
second
page.

I have tried printing the document from both computers, and it
prints
out
just like what it shows on the screen (one page from the first
computer,
two
pages from the second). It looks like it may be an issue of
top/bottom
margins and the spacing between each line of text (for some reason
it
looks
like there is wider spacing on the second printout), but I have no
idea
how
to fix it. Any suggestions? By the way, I also tried it on a few
friends'
computers and those all work fine (text remains just on one page).
The
second computer (the one with the issues) had the problem for a
while,
and I
recently reformatted and reinstalled everything, but the problem is
still
there.

Thanks in advance for any help!
