Re: How to make Word2003 print like Word97 did?

I preferentially want Word2000 to open *.doc, but
Word97 is hogging the attention. I miss being able to simply double
click and have Word2000 open things.
What you can try (no guarantees): In Windows Explorer, right-click on a .doc
file and choose Open With. Select Word 2000 (being careful to browse to the
right folder for it) and set that as the default. This may very well not
work; some users have found that they can't specify Word 2007 to open .doc
files (though Word 2007 of course will open .docx).
Another approach is the one suggested in
http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com/2007/04/15/word-2007-and-word-2003-coexisting/. I
used this to prevent the constant "reconfiguration" of Word 2003 and 2007
(installed side by side), and the result seems to be that, by default, 2003
opens everything, including .docx. So it may be that the result of this is
to specify the preferred/default .exe for all Word docs.
At this point, though, do you really have a need to have Word 97 installed?
If not, it might be simpler to uninstall it.

Thank you ALL!!! This group has got good people on it.
The problem was caused by a bit of bleeping stupidity combined with
erroneous assumptions. Embarrassingly, I DID NOT have the two fonts
mentioned installed either on the Win98 running Office 2003 or on the
WinXP running Office2003. I was misled, because the font always was
listed at the top of the document no matter where I was viewing it.
So I 'assumed' it was installed. WRONG! The subtle shifts, I can
live with. Wrong letters and loss of pagination weren't acceptible.
All has been fixed by installing the fonts. After I installed, the
fonts onto the Laptop running Word2000 on Win98SE; the document using
eurostile shows up on 1 page as it should, and the EuroRoman document
now shows the letters in English, not Greek.
Thanks for the 'heads up' to watch out if I were to micro manage the
page layout and look - it could be all for nothing.
Especially thank you for the AllFontz.com site.
Now I have a new problem. I followed Suzanne's suggestion from
another thread [possibly not followed correctly], and installed only
Word97 into a different Program File/Microsoft Office 97. I had to
modify the autoexc.bat manually to get the path correct. But, after
all done I can indeed run either Word2000 [from Office 2003], or run
Word 97 from Office 97. But, the problem now is, the click to open
menus isn't right. I preferentially want Word2000 to open *.doc, but
Word97 is hogging the attention. I miss being able to simply double
click and have Word2000 open things. MS did not 'leave' the last
application used as the next application used and I couldn't find any
folder options to allow me to change to opening with either program.
I'm extremely reluctant to uninstall Word97 for fear of deleting part
of Word2000. not a font questiong, though. sorry.
Have a Happy and prosperous New Year ALL
Robert
