Fonts size changed between two computer

[Aung Paing Min]

Hi , All


I am using MS Word 2007. I have 2 computers. The first, I created a word file on computer (1). Text size (18 pt). Then I copy it with flash disk and place on computer (2). When I open those file, It showing bigger size but "font size value" is still (18 pt) and other formats were not change. For those text size come a little large, some texts were moved and some pages come increase. Please help me.

A couple of things:

• Never, ever, work on a document on a flash drive or other removable media from within Word. Don't open, save, or print such a document.
• See What happens when I send my document to someone else? Will Word mess up my formatting?
• It may simply be display size and resolution; what happens if you print the documents on both computers. Does the printed document look different?

When I print Document, printed font size also different even I use same font size 18. I can see document's font were moved when I change between two computers.

Do the two computers both have the font installed on them? Do you get the same result if you change the typeface?

Other possibilities worth exploring are:
Is the text inside a table cell?
Is the attached template set to 'automatically update document styles'?
Is the printer paper size on both computers the same?

As indicated in Charles' link, transferring a document to a computer using a different printer driver is liable to result in layout changes. It's also possible the font used on PC1 isn't installed on PC2, so Word on PC2 is substituting another font (even though the font name won't be changed in the document).
