This seems to be indicative of WDEF A - and not just in MS Word. I noticed
that, when I was in the Finder (while running MultiFinder) the word SUITCASE II
under my Apple menu (It's the only DA that was underlined)
was condensed! In fact, anywhere that I found a menu item that was UNDERLINED
that I could see while in the Finder (This also included a selection from
my Boomerang-able folders in the SFGetDialogBox) it was
condensed. After reading this, I ran Disinfectant 1.6 and voila, a WDEF A in my
Desktop. And I had just got it yesterday! So, take a look at that word Suitcase
II and if it seems a bit condensed, you might want to run Disinfectant.

Just my experience,
