| Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | evolreed | 10/18/10 5:37 PM | I have been composing my document in Times New Roman font and 1.5 line spacing. When I view it in Print Preview it displays as Arial font, single spaced. Is there an issue with the Print Preview? I've never had this issue before and I use docs extens |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | wojtanek | 10/18/10 10:34 PM | I'm pretty much having the exact same problem suddenly. I use docs all the time and this is the first time I've had this issue. |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | keithjd | 10/19/10 4:54 AM | I have the same problem. Not just the preview though, also if you print or otherwise export to PDF. |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | Joe_M | 10/19/10 5:15 AM | Same here. Times New Roman is MIA in print preview, print, and PDF export. It reverts to single-spaced Arial. I'm not having this problem with other fonts. Using Chrome on a Win XP desktop, and Chrome and Safari on a MacBook with Snow Leopard, al |

| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | tsquaredbooks | 10/19/10 6:20 PM | I, too, have similar problems, but they are inconsistent. Also having problems with page numbers in the "print settings"-- I recently only got a page number on the last page of my document. ARGH. |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | MollyRose429 | 10/19/10 6:54 PM | Exact same thing's happening with me - spacing and font change in print preview. When I export to PDF it also applied a bold setting to the entire document even though I only have one emboldened heading... |

| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | Rebecca | 10/20/10 2:16 PM | Gill, duly noted. It does indeed seem to be tied to the conversion process, we're tracking down the exact cause. We realize that this very frustrating and are working on getting this fixed as soon as possible. Thanks, Rebecca |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | timclarke9 | 10/21/10 11:34 AM | wow pretty much screwed here....my whole business is shut down right now. HELP |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | AshleyMarie | 10/21/10 1:35 PM | I'm glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing this formatting issue. I use google docs PDF converter daily for work and this has really shut down my ability to do business today. Same issues as above, however it seems to be affecting all of the |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | ZMP | 10/21/10 1:46 PM | I've been using a workaround for this that has been working fine in most cases: First I download to a .doc format which has been preserving all the formatting for me. Then I use the converter at http://www.doc2pdf.net/ to change to a pdf document. |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | Rebecca | 10/21/10 2:17 PM | Hi Tim, Have you tried using the Download As option when you're in your document? If you save a file in .rtf you should be able to retain the formatting. At which point you can print that instead. Let me know if this helps. Rebecca |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | olentangy | 10/21/10 7:33 PM | I am having the same problem. I have not had this problem before and use the PDF download often. Is there a fix in the works? |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | jbishop.rwc | 10/21/10 9:34 PM | Same problem here. My workaround was to copy and paste into another program (I will not mention which one) and print from there. But I do not have much fancy formatting. |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | adace1 | 10/21/10 9:56 PM | The document I am typing is double spaced but it shows up as single spaced on print preview. Please get this resolved soon. Thank you. |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | Rebecca | 10/22/10 7:04 AM | Hi Everyone, We are still working on a fix for this. As ZMP mentioned, and in my earlier post, a current workaround is to use the "Download as" feature and export your document as .rtf or .doc. This should retain your formatting and you can print th |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | chedot | 10/23/10 6:08 PM | same problem here. up until a few days ago it was fine. now, all my times new roman font letters show up in this weird font when i print documents. no problems with arial, only times new roman. very frustrating, please fix soon! |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | Fwed | 10/23/10 7:43 PM | Here is the issue, Google. The problem was first posted on Monday. A full week has gone by with no solution. This has led us to use Microsoft Word. If your product is unreliable and cannot be fixed in a timely fashion - which a week is not - we a |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | timclarke9 | 10/25/10 12:55 AM | Rebecca - rtf apparently is a Microsoft word format. I don't have MS Word. That is why I use Google Docs......I cant believe this hasnt been fixed yet. I guess I cant trust Google anymore. Printing is kind of a big deal when dealing with DOCS....... |
| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | David Jurgens | 10/25/10 1:32 AM | I'm having the same problem too. Could we get an update on what the status of the fix is? |

| Re: Print Preview showing different font/spacing than actual document | Vince Noir | 10/25/10 9:20 AM | It would have been helpful if this showed up on the apps status dashboard. I would have known that Google was aware and working on the issue. Otherwise I have to go track down info. My experience working with google docs leads me to believe this prob |
