Formatting problem (I think)?

[kiwis473]

Hi

I have Office 2007 Office Home and Student and I am having a forma
problem. When I create a word document at home and have the content fi
nicely into one page then take it open it on a computer at my Universit
(also Word 2007) a couple of lines of the content will have spilled ove
onto a new page.

I also notice that if I edit the document at home and then create a PD
out of it (using multiple online pdf creating site) it does the sam
thing.

Any ideas why this would happen?

It's important because I am making a newsletter for an association
belong to, and I don't want to keep going into Uni on my days off t
format the thing.

Cheers
Edwar

Word depends, to an extent, on the printer driver when it lays out documents,
which explains why the formatting may change when you open it on another
machine. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/textreflow.htm.

But are you saying that a *PDF* looks different on another machine? Since PDFs
are basically a sequence of pictures, that couldn't be anything other than a
zoom issue.
