Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, the links were no help. I had already checked everything they suggested.

I know that this symptom is common but something is very strange about mine. First, I have been using these two machines for over five years while working on the manuscript that is displaying the problem. I was just correcting a two small grammatical errors when I encountered the problem.

I'm pretty good with Word and have checked every setting that I can imagine and have gone line by line the first few pages. I can find absolutely no difference except the spacing is different on the resulting document.

I actually created my final document for publishing on the problem machine earlier this year. Everything was fine then. I have made no changes to the machine or Word.

Here is the list again of what I have checked:
I have verified the following on both computers:
1. All font settings are identical, including advanced.
2. All paragraph settings are identical, including advanced.
3. The versions of Word are identical.
4. The printer settings are identical.
5. All margins and layout settings are identical including gutter.
6. Every line of text and every blank line are identical.
7. Both machines are Windows 10.
8. Fonts are all installed and have been fine during past edits on both machines.

Thank you again.
