Hi there,

For some reason, when moving documents from my computer
(mac on OS9) and Word 98 version, to either 1. a mac
running OSX or 2. a PC running the latest Windows version
(both also with the latest Word version), the fonts look
bigger and the document gains a ridiculous amount of
pages.

I've checked all that I can think of:
1. font size (Times new roman 12)
2. margin size (1 all around)
3. paragraph size (double space)

and, without fail, when I print from either the mac
running osx or the pc, the font looks bigger.

Why is this?

THanks,

--Laura

Oh! Sorry - I meant to post this on the Printing and Font
group. I did. But if anyone has a clue, please let me
know.  

Thanks

Hi Laura,

Use Google, Groups, Advanced Group Search, to look for this subject:
Re: Document length differences between Mac and Windows
On this group:
Microsoft.public.mac.office.word
In the last few days or so, there is an ongoing discussion of that issue and
a late but detailed reply just came in, I believe. (maybe that's your
thread, I don't know )

See here for gateway to Mac-specific ngs:
