why would the document create in Word 2007, save as a 2003 document, and
email to a client, open up with three or four times as many pages?
 
yes, same content.

Same size font? Same margins? Are the extra pages blank?

Yes, the font and margins say they are the same, there are no extra pages,
its just that the spacing between the lines is HUGE. The paragraph setting
still says single, auto space. There is no way to reduce the spacing.

Do the paragraphs use the "Keep with next" or "Keep lines together"
pagination properties? Check the Paragraph format to be sure. Since no two
printers print the same it could be the printer on the recipient's end has a
smaller or larger printable area than your printer which is throwing off the
pagination. Since Word is attempting to keep the content on the same page,
as instructed, it may move large portions of the document to another page
and leave a lot of empty space on your pages as a result.



If that's not it then your document may be set to "Automatically update
document styles" and the styles on the recipient's end have more space
between the lines than yours. To check this, on the Developer tab click
Document Template. If "Automatically update document styles" is selected,
deselect it and see if that resolves the issue. If you don't see the
Developer tab, click the Office Button, click Word Options, and you'll find
the "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" option in the Popular section.

Have you tried sending it to someone else to see if the same thing happens?

Yes, and she also has 2003, but had no problem.

I checked, and the paragraphs do not have "keep with next" or "keep lines
together" pagination set. I also checked on the "automaticly update document
styles" and that was not checked.
