I am a member of an organization that drafts and publishes documents for its members, in Word. Drafting teams, even when all are using Office 2007, find that page breaks fall differently with each user, when sharing the "same" document.
In addition, each member may open a differently formatted document, even when only one version was sent out.
I suppose that everyone has slightly different defaults (margins, tabs, etc), but can't one somehow "lock in" the format as the original writer intended it?
Thanks
Hi,
page breaks very much depend on the printer that is installed on the machine viewing the document. Some printers can go closer to the page margin than others, so page breaks may move from printer to printer, depending on what that particular printer driver can do.
As to the other differences: do all computers have the same templates installed? Do the documents have their respective templates attached? Do all machines have the same fonts? If not, fonts in documents may get substituted with whatever is installed on the local machine, resulting in different appearances of the document.
Hard to tell from a difference without seeing examples, but that's my initial take.

Avoid pie charts with more than two data points. Why? See here (pdf, 559 kb). The only acceptable pie chart is here.
Thanks.
We have many users - nearly 1,000 subscribers to this set of publications. So, or course, we don't all have the same templates. We could insert all hard page breaks, but then some users would have a single line dangling over to a following page, and it would also be a pain the next time we want to revise a document - no automatic pagination.
We also publish these in PDF, but it seems not all users have an Acrobat version that has the ability to search and/or cut and paste from an Acrobat document.
I guess if there's no solution, there's no solution.
