Word acting differently on different desktops
Our office recently updated our computer system so that each computer
was exactly alike, same programs installed, same software/hardware...everything is the same. In the update, we also made the transition to Word from Word Perfect. Our issue is, the template we created for use by everyone in the office acts differently on each desktop. At times, the headers will have the same "look" but, when one tries to type somethingin the header, the alignment. Additionally, the tabs seem to be set up differently on each computer. None of us are well-versed in Word and are trying to feel our way along as we learn this program. It doesn't seem to make sense that we would have this many variations on one program when each computer is set up exactly alike. How can we correct these issues? Thank you for any assistance you can provide. |

Word acting differently on different desktops
Your post seems a bit incomplete - when one tries to type somethingin the
header, the alignment. Does what? Tab settings may have been customized by the users. In what way are they different? Does each use have the same printer selected in Word? Are the printer drivers the same on each machine? -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Word acting differently on different desktops
Thanks for your response and questions.
When one tries to type in the header, the alignment is thrown off (as in, a right-aligned header will throw the words into center or left-alignment) Some of the tabs are set up as 3.25, while others are set at 0.5. Each user had something different set up that was not of their doing. Each user has the same printer. Thank you again for any assistance you can provide.

Word acting differently on different desktops
For a letter size page with one inch margins, it would be normal to have a
centre aligned tab stop at 3.25" and a right aligned tab stop at 6.5" I suspect that the users are inserting their text before the desired tab stop rather than after (or not using the tab key at all) -- Hope this helps.
