Document created in Word 2000, printed in Word 2003. Format's wro

Good Morning,

I created a MS Word 2000 document from home. Then copied to a USB key to
bring to work to finish and print. Now the formatting is wrong. The Table
of Contents page numbering is wrong, as well the numbering on the pages. But
in Word 2000, everything was correct.

Please help if you can with this dilemma.

#1 - Do your home & work systems have the same *fonts*?

#2 - Is the same printer driver installed & selected on both systems?

If the answer to either of the above is "No", that is the most likely
explanation.
If the answer to *both* of the above is "No", that is most definitely the
explanation.

Every printer works a little differently. See here:

Why has my page layout changed when I open my document on a different
machine?

If you set the doc up using Word's features, then Select All, F9 should
update the TOC to match the new page numbers. The page numbers should have
automatically updated, unless you entered them manually (which is not a good
idea, for this very reason).

One workaround--finish the doc at home, search the web for PrimoPDF or
CutePDF, convert the doc to pdf at home, which will freeze the page
numbering, take the pdf to work to print.
