Default Why Does Word Document Open Different On XP and Vista?

I completed a document on Word 2007 on a XP computer. I then opened the
document in Word 2007 on a Vista computer and some of the styling and spacing
was different? Is there a way I can fix this?

Maybe you would be better asking this question in a Word forum, this one is
about Excel

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Hi Shane,

The simple answer is that Word uses the current print driver to determine the document's final layout. Since XP and Vista are
different operating systems, it's likely the print drivers are different - even if the printers are the same.
