[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 457582, member: 4085"] [rantmode] DDD I'm gonna assume that you are both Americans and using the usual default of US letter as your page size. InsaneCdn will know what I mean when I grumble about the usual default for a computer out of the box is US letter when the REST OF THE [B]ENTIRE[/B] WORLD uses A4 as a default [/rantmode] Having got that of my chest, check Page Layout in whatever programme you are using for Paper Size, then check with margins and fonts. I find that when I am sharing files you really have to go plain vanilla ie using the most commonly used fonts without all the bells and whistles. Usually it is Arial for a sans serif font and Times or times New Roman for the serif font and the default paper size of whatever your organisation is using. Also don't push the margin too hard because different printers have different requirements for the minimum area they will print on even if you are all using the same paper size. These variations can occur between manufacturers and even between models from the same manufacturer. I just updated my printer from one model of HP to another and had to reformat about half my documents which (for technical reasons) HAVE to have tight margins for the new printer. Nothing else had changed! [/QUOTE]
