Hate to break the news to you, but...

I get the same problem with a Mac SE, System 6.0.5, Word 4.0b.

Haven't played with INITs yet; I suppose it's worth a try.

Among the things worth getting it for:

	If you use ATM with an Imagewriter or DeksWriter, you can
	specify fractional font spacing for better-looking output.

	If the start of a paragragh is at the top of a page, Word now
	ignores the ``space before'' feature of the paragraph, and puts
	it at the top of the page like it should be.  Doesn't work for
	the first page, though. 

Those are the fixes I know about.
