How do I get the same results with Publisher on 2 different comput

[ngboyo]

A document produced with Publisher 2003 on my computer shows much smaller
line spacing on another computer with the same version. Any suggestions?

Different printers?

Is this reference to the appearance on screen or in printed form.. if on
screen, are the computers running the same size monitor, and is the screen
resolution exactly the same?..

 

[ngboyo]

This is both the screen and the printed form. The change of line spacing is
sufficient to radically affect the layout of my document, which has text
flowing round objects and between text boxes.

Gotta be a printer driver issue.

Could it be down to font substitution?.. it may be that the original
document contains a font that is not embedded into the document, and that
font is not present on the second machine..

That would be my hunch.

There has been some font substitution, I think. What do I do to cure the
problem?

Install the fonts you use in the original document on the target computer.

 

[ngboyo]

The font substitution was made long before the document was transferred to
the 2nd computer.

The font substitution was made long before the document was
transferred to the 2nd computer.

Then you are misunderstanding the meaning of the word Font Substitution.

If you move a document to another computer, and the second computer does not
have the fonts used in the document, Publisher will substitute different
fonts in the place of the originals.

 

[ngboyo]

I still need to get over this problem. Re - do the document?

Unless the two computers are identical in every way, and we are not talking
about case shape and colour here, anything produced on either computer may
well have it's own nuances.. please ensure that both computers have the same
fonts installed locally as are being used in the document..

Select all, select the font and size you think is correct, it very well could be you
changed something along the way. Some times when you insert a symbol or a special
character of a different size of the rest of the text, the following text will take
on a different point size. Look at the format of the text box, what is the line
spacing?

Create a dummy text box in the scratch area, paste some text into the box the way you
want your original text to appear, select all in the new box, click the paint brush
format tool, click your original text box.

Thank you all for trying to help here. I've decided to reformat the text on
the 2nd computer. I guess that there is some difference between the 2
computers but I can't find it. Perhaps when I have more time...........

Er that would be two words, wouldn't it Edward...?

LOL. No excuses there!

And here was I
thinking you'd passed maths A Level... ;o)

You don't need to be able to COUNT to pass Maths A-level. I could have
obtained enough marks to pass just by doing the algebra!
