This is NOT a bug in Word.  I ran into this myself.  When you are at home, make
sure that you choose the Laserwriter as your printer.  I know, you don't have
one at home, neither do I.  But, you must choose the LW to tell Word what
type of printer it is going to.

Of course, it was set up at work for a Laserwriter, but by the time you
format it at home, it will think Imagewriter, thus going back to its
old state.  Choose LaserWriter at home, the chooser doesn't have to
actually find a LaserWriter on the network.  Of course, you will have
to turn on Appletalk, but that doesn't mean that you have to actually
have an Appletalk network at home.
