I had this kind of problem last year. When I was writing a file at home
I used the exactly the same version of LaserWriter driver than at work.
The both machines were Mac II and my System version and fonts were the
same (I installed both systems myself). When I encoutered problems I 
went home and copied Word Setting -file and tried again, but it didn't
help at all.
The only difference I found after one week of searching was that the
versions of MS Word 3 were:
  Home: Version 3.01b
  Work: Version 3.0

Try your own copy of Word when you are printing your files. Hope this
will help you.
