Andrew, you got it right, the font was not installed on this machine, eventhough it showed it in the font list of that specific document.. I should have checked that myself. Thanx

Stuart, I see the same thingas you with regards to the paragraph formats, fonts, and page setup

It resets the pictures to be viewable, but the rest is still the same, i.e. almost as if the text has all lost the paragragh and line spacing. (i can still see the table of contents on the first page, and moving it down does not solve anything, as the next page is still “shrunk” too
The thing that troubles me though is the fact that it works fine on all the other machines. Why would my system interpret the document differently?

i have attached a jpg screen dump of the first page. As you can see, the text and graphics overlay each other, and all the text seems to move up. It seems the line spacing is different, but when checking the settings between the two machines it is all the same…

Yes there is a way to do this. The problem is that the application wants to make changes to the registry each time the app is used. Sysinternals have a free app that you can use. It is called regmon. Basically, you login as the administrator, then start the regmon process, open the application, and then close it again. Stop the regmon process. Now you will have to check the log to see what registry keys where changed when using the app by checking the regmon log. Once you have the keys that were changed, it is a simple matter of opening the regedt32 (registry editor) and assign that user rights to those specific keys.

Give me a shout if you need any additional help.

well guys I finally soved it. really simple – I should kick myself. The Office 2000 system did not have sr2 installed. Once installed, everything worked fine.

I checked everything, and it all checks out fine. I deleted the link and created a new one to the same document, and still no joy. I then copied the file to my windows temp directory and created the link, and still no joy. Links to other files in the same directory are working fine. I checked the rights assigned to the files and everyone has full access. This has got me stumped.

already using kixtart.
