Layout changes Word 2K to Word 2K3

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



A co-worker is having a strange problem. He has two machines on his desk -
one has Office 2003 loaded on it, but the other still has Office 2000 on it.
He has resisted allowing me to upgrade the second machine because some of
his Word documents' layout changes when he opens them in Word 2003. The
common thread in those documents that exhibit the problem is his use of
textboxes in those documents. When opened in 2003, the page is always
shifted down halfway, i.e., the top half of the page is blank and the
textbox begins at that point. The second half of the (original) page is cut
off; it doesn't bleed over to the next page, which also exhibits the same
issue. Clicking in the whitespace in the top half of the page does not
produce a flashing cursor. We don't see any settings in the textbox
formatting that would produce this effect. Although I am the IT person here,
I am by no means a Word expert - in fact, this user is far better with Word
than I am ;-). Any help would be appreciated!
