Help! I just transferred a several hundred page Word document (Word
2001 for Mac) from my old OS 9 Mac to my new OS10 Mac (Word 2004 for
Mac, vers 11.3.5.) It is an outline for lecture notes, and the
spacing is critical. When the document opens on the new computer, the
spacing is different. Single space on the new computer takes up more
space than single space on the old computer, and this throws
everything off. Every Word setting that I know how to check is
identical on both computers. Is there a quick way to fix this so I
don't have to spend hours going through and fixing the new document? I
have several more documents like these to transfer.
