In general, if you want solid WYSIWYG and stable PDFs, it's good to standardize on the Adobe PDF printer instance as your default printer.

If you use the HPs on your network, you may have a couple problems -- they may use unique fonts that aren't available either to create the PDF or by your end printer, if you produce hard copy.

* ** As far as converting files from Word goes, you may also be importing hidden Word characters... you may want to begin making it a practice to save your FM files as MIF occasionally, open them, and save as FM.

* ** On graphics, in Frame, the text and boxes and so on are on layers that float on top of the base image. If you're having trouble with placement, you may have Snap turned on, which would cause some problem.

The second issue would be fonts (see the first comment)... if you use printers other than Adobe PDF, you can open yourself to changable fonts.

Cheers,
Art
