Prev: Everything set to and shows Landscape ... but ...
Next: how do I print portrait on the front and landscape on the back
From: Ken on 23 Apr 2010 11:17 I have loaded Word 2007 on the Windows 2003 Server and tested the printing. The document is still formatted different than when I use Word 2003 on the same machine with the same printer. I have read the document posted in your reply and tried those settings. Still no changes. It seems that no matter what I do in Word 2007 the document still prints the same. Can you provide any other ideas?

Well, since you are looking at the same file in Word 2003 and also in Word 2007 on the same machine and there is still a difference in display and printout, there must be some sort of difference between the two versions (in the way they interpret printer driver information for example). Sorry, I can't explain this. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Ken" <Ken(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AF62BAAC-CD41-4371-A064-7F32C2625033(a)microsoft.com... >I have loaded Word 2007 on the Windows 2003 Server and tested the printing. > The document is still formatted different than when I use Word 2003 on the > same machine with the same printer.
