Hi Lynda
You may find that the Font required is not installed on that workstation, and Windows is guessing the nearest Font, I have run into this problem, not all workstations have the same fonts installed.
HTH
>Thanks Cetin I'll have a look at this. What I'm trying to decipher is pretty simple stuff. Very few commands even have parameters and never more than one. Just figuring out that oWord.DocClose(2) means 'close without saving' was a big AhHa!

It seems odd because all workstations print to the same printer and this is the only one with problems. I don't know much about XP but I guess I'm about to learn. It's ironic, and probably not a coincidence, that the oldest software and the newest worstation OS are involved in the problem.
