I've been trying to figure out which word processor to select for my own use on the mac, and have run into a very serious problem with Microsoft Word 4. I created a 1-page document on an SE at home, previewed it, and everything looked fine. Then, I printed it at school from a II. It came out teeny tiny, like maybe 10% or 15% normal size. I then created a new document on the II, copied over the styles and the content from the SE file, and printed it out. It printed out fine. Any idea what could be causing this? I spent considerable time convincing myself that the formatting, setup, and content on both documents is identical. I can't very well turn in a 1" tall dissertation, and copying over many pages in this manner is just too much trouble. What magic am I missing?

Well, almost all of the replies I have received so far suggested
things like page setup, printer selection, laserwriter file versions,
etc. After some double-checking, I am sure that the page setup, etc
is identical between the two files. I also tried other files.
Additionally, I'm not comparing the output from the two machines --- I
did not print the file from the SE, just the II. So, rephrased, the
problem is: Why does a file created on an SE print from a II at about
10% normal size, when an identical file (setup and content) prints
normally?
Configurations:
SE II
Memory 4M 5M
Rom 256K, ver. 118, rev. 1 256K, ver. 120, rev. 1
System 6.0.5 6.0.2
Multifinder 6.0.5 6.0.1
LaserWriter N/A 5.2
Thanks for any and all information that everyone has/will give.
