Hi All:
Thanks so much for the replies. I have uploaded a selection of the tables from the good pdf. As you can, they are fine. Unfortunately, I get a connection reset error when I try to upload the Word doc with the awry tables. I'll wok on it.

As to Andrew's excellent suggestions:


1. As far as I know, the printer drivers are the same as they have been for years.
2. Same fonts installed when the doc was created, and now.
3. Update styles automatically OFF.
4. I read Suzanne's suggestions, and fiddled with changing the printers. No, tables still awry.

Thanks for your time.
Garry

Stevens good tables in pdf.pdf (133.8 KB, 4 views)

Hi All:
Well, the easiest way is to provide the Word doc with the bad tables is from a Dropbox link.


Dropbox


If you compare it to the pdf of that file senbt previously (from about page 54) you will see the tables have moved a lot.


Thank you for yopr time,
Garry

Please attach you document to your post here, not on a 3rd-party site. The process is exactly the same as for the PDF you attached. And we don't need the entire 183-page document, just the part(s) exhibiting the problem.

Hi All:


Thanks for the reply. I got the pdf file to upload but not the Word doc.


I trimmed the Word doc down to just the problematic tables, set font embedding to just the characters used, and zipped it, but it was still larger than the 2 Mb zip limit.


Of course, the fonts used will affect the table sizing, so I can't change that.
Thanks everyone for their time.


Sigh.
