The other person's copy of Word has different settings from yours for font sizes and line spacing. However, when you send the document to a different person, then all heck breaks loose.

The tables have probably, at some stage, been dragged up or down and perhaps blank lines have been added to position them on the page. It sounds as if one of Donna's tables is anchored to the page (or margin) and another is anchored to a paragraph. If you subsequently drag a table up or down using the mouse, then the anchor changes to the nearest paragraph mark plus an offset and the wrapping changes from the default of "none" to "wrap around." Often this change of wrap radically changes the layout of the page and you have to change the table back to "no wrap" to resolve the chaos. If successive tables are anchored to successive paragraph marks, then the tables will all move together and cannot overlap. The table will then move up and down as that particular paragraph mark moves with editing. Welcome to the wonderful world of table positioning in Word! When you insert a table using the ribbon tools, the vertical anchor is set to "paragraph," by default. She wonders how to prevent this from happening. When she sends it to someone else the tables move and overlap each other.

When she views it, the document appears fine. Donna has a document that has three tables in it.
