why does a documents length change when viewing it on another com.
when I transfer a large document, over 200 pages, to a different computer the
document is actually longer, and less words fit per line and there is avout one less line per page. Both computers have the same default margins, same spacing and same font and are seemingly running the same version of Microsoft Word 2002. However, one is running Windows XP and the other Windows Professional 2000. No matter what I do the computers just fit the words on the pages differently, one with 247 pages, and the other comes back with 232. What's the deal? |

Different printer drivers usually give Word different information about character widths, which leads eventually to different line breaks and page breaks. This can happen even with two drivers for the same printer, which is pretty much guaranteed by the computers using different operating system versions.
