|We had a similar problem with Word 3.0. Our problem was that one

On the machine with the Imagewriter, if you select "Tall Adjusted" in
the Page Setup dialog in Word 4 and most other applications (it's the
Print dialog in Word 3), the width of the page will be effectively the
same as when the Laserwriter is used. This should get you back and
forth between machines OK. Alas, it won't come out quite right with
the new MacDraw, however.
