I'd still suggest updating your video drivers.

I am 100% certain that it is not a video driver issue. Notepad does not do this
MS Word does this. This proves that it is not a video driver issue. I think that
it might be a ligature issue. It occurs in Times New Roman-Bold-Italic-24 Point.
It does not occur in the Non-Italic form of this same font.


Does this problem appear on other computers?

It is not a display driver issue, it is an MS Word issue. When I do the same
thing in notepad, the characters are evenly spaced. I must have an answer to
this problem, it is not something that I can ignore.

If it's a display issue only, then it's probably a video driver issue or an
issue with the display font. If it doesn't print that way, then I would
consider it not worth worrying about.

I'm not seeing that here, but possibly an AutoCorrect entry has been set
up
to substitute an ff ligature for two f's. This character is not present
in

It is working this way in a new blank document. I am referring to the
on-screen
image, not the printed image. This difference can only be seen when a
screen
capture is made and the pixels are examined.

most fonts (though some do contain the fi and fl ligatures), but it is
available in "expert" fonts and possibly in OpenType fonts (though not
necessarily accessible directly in Word's Symbol dialog. You might try
asking this question in the microsoft.public.word.printingfonts NG.

Why is it when I type fff in Bold Italic 24 Point Times New Roman that
the
first
two letters are closer together than the last two letters?

Thanks
