Word prints different font size

[gwlogue]

One of my clients is writing a book using WORD 2002 on a WinXP Home Edition system. Each chapter of his book is a separate Word document. He does not apply any text formatting, not even underlining, bold or italics. The font is set to Times New Roman and the pitch is 12pt.

Pretty basic however, one of the documents seems to printing a different font size than the others. It looks to be Times New Roman but is smaller. I've checked every option I can find on the documents and the printer but everything seems to be identical.

The only differences I can see is that one of the documents prints a markup line on the far left of the page (I'm assuming to show changed text), while the other does not. The other difference is that the page margins are different on the problem document, (line length is shorter). I don't see how either of those options could be at issue however I do know that I don't know everything so I include this information as well.

Any ideas why the difference in printed font sizes? Is there some way to duplicate the properties of a document, similar to the format painter feature available within a document?

Thanks ...g

Could it be some sort of "Fit to page" option in the print properties?
I've had a similar problem with Acrobat. If you check (or fail to uncheck) "Fit to page" it will fit the page within the printer margins, making it a little smaller.
Well, hope this helps.:t

It was markup that was causing it. One document was set to "Final", the other to "Final Showing Markup". The latter was overriding the font when printing.
