different pc's display same document differently

[mark adamson]

new same purchased version of Publisher of 2 different pc's. Same document, (reading of a server)  same text styles ( i have double checked) Baseline grid manager the same, everything the same and yet the document displays totally differently in so far as text overruns out of text boxes that it fitted in on the other machine. The whole document is built on Text styles for body and headings etc ..  Whole paragraphs of text dont display as the text is overrun in the text box.. Its like the font was 2 points bigger in size. but they are the same Garamond 10 pt on both machines....Is this normal?? I cant fathom it..Any help?its like ?

What happens if you change the font to something like Arial in one of the text boxes that overflows

Does it look correct on both PCs or does it still look different?

Do you just mean the “same” in the sense of both using Garamond at 10 pt, or do you mean literally the same (version of) Garamond?

Can you supply an Export to PDF from both machines?
Then we can look at the actual fonts being placed, and some of the settings.
