G'Day Satinay,

Excel and Wordpad use the SAME Arial font file that is
used in Word.

That suggests that there is something wrong with Word.

Open a document where this problem is obvious, select
problem text and investigate:
FormatFont
Character Spacing (tab)
Scale: 100%
Spacing: Normal
Position: Normal
kerning....: Unchecked

In Word 2000 the ARIAL font is corrupt in that the chacters are not evenly
spaced.
If I open the same document in Wordpad the font is OK as it is in Excel.
If
I open the document on another computer using word it is OK.
I upgraded to Office 2003 and the font characters are still unevenly
spaced.
When I print the font it is unevenly spaced.
I can't shoe an example beciause anyone else viewing the font from
anywhere
except my copy of word has no problems.
Anyone have any ideas?
