Printing from Word and Excel

Question

I'm using Microsoft Office version X for Mac, a bit old I know, but it does what I need it do. Well, did, before I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
I upgraded on both my MacBook Pro and on my Mac Mini. With the Mini I transferred everything from my old G4 using whatever utility it was that Apple said to use. The MacBook started clean.
Now here is my issue. Everything works great from my laptop, not from the Mini. Certain Word documents just give me a blank page when I print and I have some Excel documents that print the boxes and shading and all that, but not the text.
Again, works fine on the MacBook Pro, but not on the Mini. Just a pain to do work on the desktop and then have to e-mail or use a flash drive to print from the MacBook Pro.
I would consider moving to a new version of Office, but since everything is fine on one machine and not the other, I don't believe that is the issue.
Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.

Answer 1

Thanks so much. First I tried just disabling the fonts and it did not correct the printing problem so then I went to my user font folder for all the old fonts and deleted the ones that showed as a duplicate (with the yellow triangle). What is interesting is that there were several fonts that were duplicates that did not show as a problem in Font Book "Times New Roman" as a prime example--it was actually the printing problem along with Arial (which did show a yellow triangle). So I went through the old fonts and compared it to Font Book and where there were duplicates without the yellow flag I just deleted the old ones in my user font file. I was then able to print the Excel spreadsheet! I am hoping that deleting the other fonts will prevent future printing issues.
What is confusing is that there are so many font files I was not sure where to start. Thanks so much for your response as it gave me the courage I needed to start deleting fonts!
