Why? Are you using the "fractional widths" option in the Page Setup? When I know that I'm going to print on the LaserWriter, I always use this option. It tries to simulate the spacing of letters in Postscript fonts. As a matter of fact, I use it also when I print on my DeskWriter at home (I have ATM). When you first enter your document, you can turn the option off because the spacing of characters on the screen makes with the option on makes editing hard the document. But when you fine-tune the document right before printing, turn the option on. I think you have to be using current versions of LaserWriter bitmap fonts (the NFNT format) for this option to make a difference. I have added this command to my File menu with the Commands... command (using Word 4, of course), so now I can activate and deactivate it without going to the Page Setup dialog. I'm not positive it's going to settle your problem, but it's worth trying! -- { Marc Mazuhelli | professeur } { internet: mazu@dmi.USherb.CA | Departement de math-info. } { | Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada }
