Okay, see if any of you Mac wizards can figure this out...I think I
know the answer...but I ain't sure...

We have two Mac Labs on campus...one with ImageWriter IIs and one with
LaserWriters IINTs.  The problem seems to be whenever someone uses the
MS Word 4.0 in the IW lab and then comes to the LW lab, their 
document becomes reformatted.  The degree of reformation varies
from simple margin problems to tonight where someone and two extra
hard returns for each line.

Now, I know the Mac will reformat (or is it just Word?) a doc according
to which printer is currently selected, but is there a way to stop
it from doing that?  Or is there an easy to correct the problem?

Thanks!
