I just installed Word 2007 and was surprised to discover that normal template
has 25% condensed character spacing. Does anyone know why? Should I assume
this is now the preferred appearance for published documents?

What is the difference between using scaling to reduce font and
condensing it? (Format, Font, Character Spacing)
Scaling reduces (or expands) the widths of all characters you apply it to.
Condensing leaves the character widths the same, but pushes the characters
closer together.
To see this for yourself, put two identical paragraphs in a document. Select
one paragraph and scale it to 80%. Select the other paragraph and condense
it by 1 pt. The difference should be obvious.
