Subject:FW: disappearing spaces in Word documents From:Mc Jdub <wigginje -at- PSSCH -dot- PS -dot- GE -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 23 Jun 1997 13:12:28 -0400
Though you are both printing to the same printer, it is possible that
you are using different printer drivers. If they are in fact different,
changing to the same one could alleviate the problem.
A longshot, but I've seen the "wrong-printer-driver" problem cause
weirder effects.
