Preserving the formatting of a document on different printers

[NewRipper]

Folks:

I need help.

The issue/background:
I am sending out resumes as Word 2002 documents. I am using Trebuchet
MS or Pepetua as the font. They are both TT fonts.

Of course, I am also trying to cram in as much information into the
document ( I need that job...). Hence, the margins, headers and
footers are all formatted to provide me with 3 pages.

The problem:
When I go in for an interview, I notice that the copy with the
interviewer is not formatted the same as mine.

The page breaks do not occur at the same point and many a time the
fonts is different.

What have I done so far?
I have followed the instructions in the MS-Word Help file and under
Save, I have ticked "Embed TT fonts", "Characters in use only" and "Do
not embed common system fonts".

Under Compatibilty, I have also unchecked the "Use printer metrics to
layout document"

While this has increased the document size, the purpose is not being
served.

So I go into an interview and have interviewers flipping pages trying
to find what I am talking about. They are not on the same page!!!!

Please help.

Thanks in advance,
NewRipper

1. Set the document up with a minimum 1" margin on left, right, and bottom,
and a .5" at the top. Some printers aren't capable of printing as close to
the edge of the paper as others. This can affect the final product.
2. You'll never be able to guarantee that the recipient has the font you're
using on their PC. You cannot embed certain fonts because they're licensed.
Call Kinkos and see if they'll make a PDF file for you.
