Your assumption is correct: ClearType is for LCD monitors. But if it helps...
:-)
Are you using a Word 97-2003 or a Word 2007 file format? How about compatibility
options (Word Options, Advanced category)?

Thanks. It was off. I just turned it on and the text looks much less jagged
when set in regular Garamond, now. The layout problem persists with Adobe
Garamond Pro, though. I had turned off clear type because I use a CRT
monitor. I thought that clear type is just for LCD screens? Regular Garamond
may work for me, now, though.

Is the "Always use ClearType" option on or off (Office button | Word Options,

Thanks, but the problem persists even when I change that setting.

Hi,
I'm using Word 2007, SP2. Here is a screen cast of my problem:
http://home.comcast.net/~richmaxw/word. It's hard to explain in
writing,
so
I figured a video would work better.
This started happening after I changed the font in my invoices from
Garamond
(a TrueType font) to Adobe Garamond Pro (an OpenType font) because
Garamond
Pro looks much better on screen than the TrueType version. So, it
doesn't
happen when the font is set in Garamond, only Garamond Pro. It does not
happen in OpenOffice Writer.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Richard Maxwell
