Some cold water for Word for Windows shoppers.

The subscript/superscript functions along with the fixed
line spacing are broke. At least on the copy we got.

First subscripting or superscripting a character does not
reduce the character size as stated in the manual. It also
automatically increases line spacing leaving ugly gaps in
the line spacing of the paragraph. On the mac you can set
the line spacing for fixed mode and it takes care of the
problem.

I talked with MS support and they said they were aware of it
but didn't say if a fix is comming. 

I can't believe that reviewers didn't find this problem and
fix it before it was released. They must be hurting from the
slips in windows 3.0.

Needles to say WfW is useless for those of us needing to do
technical typing, unless you like shoddy looking output.
