My wife asked me to download a job application form which is in
Microsoft Word format. I opened it up in NeoOffice, but the pages are
formatted wrongly and consequently print wrongly. I need a quick way of
opening this document and printing it ASAP. Can anyone suggest a method
please.

Cheers

Or you might try to adjust things in NeoOffice. Be advised that many is the
Windows Word document which doesn't quite work with Mac Word. Typically the
reason is a font which doesn't quite match.

I had already tried TextEdit with no luck, printed it over 10 pages
instead of the correct 4, not thought of using Pages, tried that but
still formatting problems, printing boxes around the text. I know the
document opens correctly in Word, I tried it on the 30 day test drive on
my wife's new MacBook, unfortunately it doesnt allow you to print.
Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Could someone here open it with Word and save it as a PDF for you?
