    Urgent: Printed font size smaller than Word file

    I need some urgent help with something I haven't experienced before. My girl friend is about to finish her thesis, using Word 2002. However, when she made an attempt to print out a couple of pages to see whether it all looks as she wants it to, it turned out that the original font size of Times Now - 11 Roman had changed to font size -9.

    I am totally clueless as of what could be the reason for the font size to automatically change. I've already tried to convert to PDF, but no difference.

    Any ideas?

    From Microsoft:

    "
    • The font on your computer might not be available on the printer you're using. One solution is to change your font file to a TrueType font, because a TrueType font looks the same printed as it does on the screen.

    • Make sure that the text you're trying to print isn't animated. Animations are a series of pictures that appear to be in continuous motion. If the text is moving, you might not be able to print it.

    • Did you try to resize the font? Some fonts are bitmaps and can't be resized. Try printing the font in a different size and see if it looks the same as it does on the screen.

    • To see if the problem is with the font rather than the file, try printing the same font in another file. If it still doesn't look right, try reinstalling the font."

    cheers ...

    Open document, click on one page, click CTRL + A to select all the text, choose a different FONT and the 11pt size...will change the entire document
