word 2000 to wordxp formatting problem
I have created a large document with tables and graphics
using word 2000. When I sent it to my client who has word xp the document on the screen, in Print Layout View, has a huge area of white on the right white representing the paper extends beyond the 8.5" allotted. When printing, the printer automatically resizes to allow for the ghost space so the text is smaller than it should be and the right and bottom margins are huge. Also the document has a problem printing for him and spools for ever. It looks and prints fine for me. I have been trying to solve this for days and would appreciate any help. |

word 2000 to wordxp formatting problem
I'm not sure I understand what's happening. However, try
this as a solution... On your computer in Word 2000, save the file as a RTF (rich text file) and send that to your client. When they open the file in Word XP it will be converted back to a Word format. Occasionally, saving a file as RTF and allowing Word to automatically convert it back to Word format will clear corruption in the file. |

word 2000 to wordxp formatting problem
Hi Rebecca. I'm not sure about Word 2000, but in Word XP there is an
option to print "Document with Markup" instead of just the plain document, and I think your client has selected this option. Tell your client to click on File | Print, and in the "Print What" box, select "Document" instead of "Document with Markup". This should make the expanded margins at the right and bottom go away, and the document should be normal size in print preview and when printed. This might fix the "spools forever" problem too. Hope this helps. Rebecca wrote: I have created a large document with tables and graphics using word 2000.
