There are several possible solutions:

Your dealer could have a different version of Times installed (not
likely)

YOU could have.... (not likely either)

You wrote your file using PageSetup for an ImageWriter, and then
imported it to a Word for LaserWriter (I believe this is it) This
is because a) the ImageWriter uses 72 dots/inch and the LW 300 dpi
wich scales down to 75 dpi. b) the LaserWriter uses its internal
font while the ImageWriter uses the bitmapped font available in your
computer. Word accounts for this, but since your formatting was made
with the printer set for a ImageWriter...

Of course, I could be totally wrong.

Happy Hacking
