I've used the DeskWriter alot with Word 4.0 and 3.02 and have
never had any problems with the spacing of text.  The only time I've seen
spacing that I didn't like was when I used New York, or Geneva, and then
used font substitution to get Times and Helvetica.  Since New York and
Geneva are spaced more widely than the corresponding Times and Helvetica, I
tend to get output that is a little more spaced out.

BTW: wasn't Word 3.01 the version that had soooo many problems that
 MicroSoft quickly rushed 3.02 out to their customers?
