Michael, why do I get the idea you are not paying attention to what I wrote. Font size does not mean anything in Word. It is the line spacing in the paragraph format that controls how much the form advances. If you do not specify a specific amount, then you will get whatever the fontmetrics for the font/printer combination turns out. You might be right and you might be wrong. But setting the line spacing to exactly 12 points will do the trick. Where is the friggin printer? I have a bunch of OKIs here but not that model. This should take about 45 minutes to resolve, hands-on.
