Microsoft Word provides several options for creating “portable” documents — that is, documents that always keep their original
appearance no matter which computer or printer you use to view or print them.
Do any of the following:
Preserve a document’s original layout and page breaks
1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Compatibility tab.
2. In the Options box, clear the Use printer metrics to lay out document check box.
Note The Use printer metrics to lay out document option affects only the way the document is displayed while you work with it
in Word; it doesn’t permanently change the document. If you want to restore the document’s original layout, you can select this option
again.
