Printing 150 pg doc Lyn B 10/17/2008 6:36:24 PM I have created a doc in my 2007 Office, Home/Student that I want to have printed at Staples or Office Depot. I have loaded the compatibility pack and saved the doc as 97/2003, as the printer does not have 2007. The doc will open but the text is jibberish. (Best Buy Geeks got the same results in three different computers). What's the problem? CS at MS was unable to resolve the problem. -- Happy Trails

Re: Printing 150 pg doc "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 10/17/2008 8:47:33 PM Are you saving to the thumb drive? Always save to your local HDD and then COPY the document to the Thumb drive. Likewise in the print shop: they should not open the document from the thumb drive but should copy it to the local HDD first. If that doesn't work, use SaveAs and choose the PDF option. The should definitely have a PDF viewer in the shop. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Lyn B" <LynB[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:735300EF-CE3C-4272-BDFF-C61603644DF8[ at ]microsoft.com...

You might try to save the font with the file (click the beach ball and go into Word Options).
