I'm preparing my first document on the laserwriter and like what I
see.  I'm only renting it ($.25/page) and so the success of this
document will probably determine whether I get to buy one or not.

I like Times-12, and so do most other folks.  However, the spacing
between lines is a little too tight.  From my days in the newspaper
business, I know that they would increase the leading to make it
more readable.  They also do that with our newsletter.

Is there an easy way to change Times-12 with MacWrite (or Word,
if you must) to add about 10% extra spacing?  How hard is it to
define a new laserwriter font with more spacing?  I don't want
to spend a month learning postscript, if I can help it.
