MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / August 2003printing problem
I have a 38 page document that looks fine in Print Layout view, but Print Preview is changing this to 40 pages, and it will also print out 40. How can this be ? I thought Print Layout view is a WYSIWYG. File was sent to me by a client to troubleshoot. Tried setting different printers, and the same thing happens, so I dont think it's a driver issue. Can anyone explain this ? Using both Word 2000 and 2002. Lynn, If you've looked at updating and changing printer drivers without sucess, then you may be looking at a corrupted document. Try saving the document as an RTF and re-opening and printing. If that works, then you've succeeded in clearing it up. If not, you may find that copying and pasting page by page into a new document and printing each page to be a last resort option. jesse >-----Original Message----- >I have a 38 page document that looks fine in Print Layout [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >. Thanks. I'm thinking this may be corrupt. In Word 2002, print layout shows 38 pages, and print preview shows 40. In Word 2000, however, I get about 10 errors telling me that the file is not accessible, folder has been removed, then it finally opens, with the opposite problem. Print layout now shows 40 pages, but print preview shows 38. There are objects that were copied in from Excel, and clicking on them is generating even more errors. I will try saving this as an RTF to see if that will clear up the problem. Thanks >-----Original Message----- >Lynn, [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >> >. Print Layout view is *not* entirely WYSIWYG; you should rely on Print Preview for that. Print Layout view will not show the correct pagination if you have fields or Hidden text displayed, which is often the case if you have inserted XE or TC fields or if you have linked objects that might be displayed as field codes rather than field results. If you suspect the document is corrupt, see http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm for some cleaning techniques. -- Suzanne S.

In addition to other comments in this thread, if the document was prepared elsewhere it is almost certainly reformatting to *your* printer driver - see http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP E-mail gmayor@mvps.org Web site www.gmayor.dsl.pipex.com Word MVP web site www.mvps.org/word <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>>< ><<> > I have a 38 page document that looks fine in Print Layout > view, but Print Preview is changing this to 40 pages, and [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > issue.
