My partner and I work in separate offices, her on a PC, me on a Mac. We
frequently work on the same Word documents, sending them back and forth, and
formatting shifts are a constant problem.

We've solved the "words wandering all over the page" issue by adhering to
strict rules of proper formatting (e.g. never using the space bar to align
type, etc.) but one thing we've never solved is the amount of stuff on a
page.

Her page breaks are always different than mine. Is there a way to solve
this? And are there any suggestions for fonts that are universal but more
attractive than Times New Roman?

These and any other formatting tips for "mixed marriages" like ours would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian
