Sorry for the cross-post but..

I posted this to the Word97 VBA group but haven't seen any response so with
apologies I find myself forced to repeat this post. I have an application
that prints a letter and envelope using bookmarks and
taking the data from a VB data entry form. What's really odd is that the
system works fine on an HP 4000 which is the printer we use at the main
office but when I adapted the program for some other locations and sent it
there the envelope prints with the address at the very top, even losing the
first line and the return address prints lower than the main address but
still much higher than it ought to be located. The location uses an HP IIID.
When I tested on an HPIII that we have here the same problem appears. The
really odd part is that it doesn't happen if the envelope is printed from
Word instead of from my program. Does anyone have any ideas? The one article
that came close to describing my problem didn't seem to help. I went back in
and specified that it was an envelope, that it's size is a size 10 and the
AddressFromTop, AddressFromLeft and return address settings, but that made
almost no difference. Now in fact it's even weirder because the main address
dropped down one line but the return address is printing just below the main
address.

G'day "Jim Satterfield" <[email protected]>,

possibly the fonts on the printers. If you download the fonts and then
embed your fonts or use standard ones you might find less hassles.
