Word Document is 1 Page on Win 7, 2 on XP

Hello,
I have a word 2010 document that I spent a fair amount of time on to format it to be on 1 page. If I open the document on any of my Win7 machines it is fine. If I open the document on any of my XP machines it is 2 pages no matter what I do. The document was created and edited on a Win 7 computer. All the machines are running Word 2010. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the XP machine using an older version of Word?  That could be a cause.

Also, look at your margins. It is entirely possible your margins are such that a different version of Word causes a paging problem.  Tighten up your margins so that you are comfortably on one page.

Can you take the document to a machine with Adobe Acrobat? Make a PDF and how does that work?

Hi, Same version of Word. No matter what margins I choose it still goes to 2 pages. I have adobe on the XP machine and it still prints 2.
I wonder if the printer driver is causing an issue. The driver will be different in XP of course.

Open the file in XP but do not print. Save As a different name. Open different name in a Windows 7 machine. Is different name one page or 2?

Makes no difference. 2 on XP, 1 on Win 7.
