I haven't noticed this at all and have been using Word and Superclock
since Word 3 and Superclock 1.4 (or something). But then I usually leave
the automatic repagination turned off because all that disk access and
commotion makes me think that it goes slower with the repagination on.

But I did notice screwy spacing something like you mention, that would
only be fixed by scrolling off the screen. To produce the problem I've
noticed, type something in bold, using the text to picture command (I
think it's called) command-option-d make the text into a graphic.
Watch what happens in a paragraph following this graphic with bold
text in it; it should be something like you mention seeing. I don't
think I've tried to see if taking out SuperClock would make a difference.
And come to think of it, I haven't tried it with Word 4.00B, it was
before version B that it was happening
