Hello Stefan Blom,

Thank you for responding again.

I never indicated that I had set the spacing "Exactly." I did state that the settings were identical on both computers. That included all paragraph, font, and printer settings.

I understand what you are pointing out and I know that it can be a valid concern for my situation. I know that I can probably replicate the document by setting the spacing exactly but that will require a lot of editing time. I have found that a setting of 14.4 pt will do the trick for a paragraph or a page but changing the style for the main body did not work out.

Because I have been editing this manuscript on both computers for the past few years I am going to continue to try to find out why one of the computers has changed. That may not be possible but I will still try.



On future documents I may be able to avoid this problem by setting the spacing to "Exactly" as you have pointed out. Thank you for that.

Actually, you did state in another message in this thread that you had tried setting the Line Spacing to "Exactly."

Peterson and Stefan Blom

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was a way for the weekend.

Yes, the default printer is the same on both machines.

The line spacing is fixed.

Thank you for taking the time to help though.

However, there are many factors involved and basically Word doesn't provide full control over the appearance of a page.
