97-2003 Document opened in 2007
I opened a protected Word 2003 document in Word 2007 and it reformatted part
of the document that is protected. For some reason when I opened the 2003 protected document in 2007 the top of the page dropped a line or 2 making the document 6 pages instead of 5. The area that dropped is protected and I can not figure out how to edit it. I ended up finding a maching that is running 2003 and opened up the document and everything is fine. I was wondering if there is a fix or if anyone has scene/heard about something like this. Thanks |

Hi ttothey,
This is most likely due to the fact that the two computers are using different printer drivers - especially if the printers are different. If the document has hard page breaks or Next Page Section breaks at what appears to be the bottom of the page on the PC that shows the lower page count, it may well be that these lines are rolling over to the next page on the other PC, thus generating the extra pages. For this reason it's generally best not to put hard page breaks or Next Page Section breaks at the apparent bottom of a page. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "ttothey" wrote in message ...

I'm fairly certain that the only way to correct that is to un-protect the document and fix the margins and layout. You may still be able to print the document on 5 pages by using the scaling feature in the print dialogue.
