Word 3.0 Bug??

I have a problem using Word 3.0 at home and at work concerning margins. At
home I have a Mac 512E and an 800K external drive. At work, I use a Mac+ and
a LaserWriter. At home, when the ruler is visible, the text width is 6 inches
and takes up a full screen width. At work, the ruler still says 6 inches but
is narrower, i.e., does not take up the full screen. Also, when I print on the
LaserWriter, there are more pages than show up when you paginate in Word.

The result of this is that my footnotes get weird. For example, at home when
there are two footnotes to a page, they will be altered at work, making them 
appear on two different pages. This wouldn't be a problem, except that the
footnote on the second page is #2, and it should be #1, like it is every-
where else.

Another problem is that sometimes the first 2 footnotes in the text area
are 12 or 14pt., while the rest on the page, and normally, document are
10 pt., or maybe smaller. 

One more thing, after using the Word disk at work, the margins at home become
like the ones at work (6 inches, but not the full screen), but only 
temporarily. Somehow they switch back to having 6 inches take the entire 
screen width.

Has anybody else had this problem? Is the LaserWriter the culprit? Or maybe
the Mac+? Or is it me? Would appreciate any help!!

Please E-mail any responses, and I'll post summary if there's enough interest.

Thanks,

Dave
