Default 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.

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.
