I created a doc on my computer-XP Professional in Word
2003 and sent it to another computer XP with Word 2002 on
it. The XP computer (2002) received the doc all jumbled
with tabs and margins off. When sending a Word doc from
XP computer with Word 2002 to XP Pro computer with Word
2003, document is jumbled on the 2003 side.

Help?

Hi, cheryl. This could be caused by having "Automatically update" enabled in
Word's style definitions. It actually sounds like this option is enabled in
both the Word 2002 and Word 2003 computers. See
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/sharing/WillMyFormatChange.html for more
info.
