I have created many reports (Access 97) that output to Word and all is fine. But when I move the database to a different computer. The reports come out with some right side cut off, dashes are shortened, some text put into next line etc. Why? Using same HP printer. Same software. What setting or Workgroup(??) file or MDW or whatever needs to be moved over? Just about desperate enough to get the IT people to image the old computer, install on mine and then have to install all my other stuff. What a lot of work.

You might not have all the same fonts on each computer. If the screens look different, they might not be the same resolution. Also, the printer drivers might not be the same on both computers.
