Print paging explanation

J

Jan Kratochvil

I have a continual problem with the paging to hold the content properly how
is look if I save my Word file.

I have heard that the problem with other look depends on printer driver.

A practically case of that problem is a caption on other page than picture
or a moved text - paragraph.

How is an efficient way to hold the content for print just like is in print
preview in Word?

Help for that export it in PDF file?
Is in that case the content really untouched of the printer driver and
printed exactly the same content like in PDF file?

yes, printer drivers still may have influence on the pagination in Word.
Word 2007 seems a lot more stable in that regard compared to, say, Word
2000, though.

You can partly tackle this problem by setting the paragraph (style) of
the picture to "Keep with next." This doesn't force the pagination, but
it keeps the two paragraphs together, so they'd both move to a new page.

If you need "100%" pagination fidelity, then you need to save as PDF or PS.

Yes, provided the fonts are included in the file.
