Formatting problems with multiple versions of Word
Hello,
I'm having problems with a Word document that is being editted by several people using different versions of Word. The formatting, particularly the fonts, don't remain consistent when opened by different computers. What are the possible solutions? Would the use of TrueType fonts solve the problem? Would text inside a table not suffer the same fate? Also, I read about checking the "disable features used after Word 97" feature. Would this help? Finally, would using a consistent .dot across all machines help? Could this .dot template apply ONLY to this particular document, or would all users have to change their normal.dot and therefore all documents created on Word? Thank you, MF |

Hi MF
The following may help: What happens when I send my document to someone else? Will Word mess up my formatting? http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/shar...matChange.html What is the relationship between a Word document and its template? http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/atta...ate/index.html Apart from issues covered by those pages, is it possible that the document uses unusual fonts that are not available on every computer? Does this problem occur if you have a document in plain old Times New Roman and Arial? Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
