Default Document layout issues between Mac and Windows Word 2016


Hi all,

I have a weird issue that I hope you could help with/shed light on.

I created a document on my Mac using Word 2016on Windows 7. I am using landscape page orientation. Now, I got the document looking exactly as I wanted (I am using tables) and saved it. When I tried looking at it on Word 2016 on Windows it had introduced large spaces between my tables. I do have section headings outside of my tables.

What on earth could be going on? I need this to look the same on both Mac and Windows due to most people who will be looking at my document use Windows 7.

First, chances of that happening are somewhat slim.
See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/shar...matchange.html.
Make sure that your document is not set to update styles to the template upon opening. Use wide margins. Minimize use of manual page breaks or section breaks.

In addition, the layout of a document can change with different printer drivers. Note, not different printers, but different printer drivers. Two different operating systems will have different printer drivers.
