Default Spacing between letters in Times New Roman font

Select the characters involved, then go to FormatFont - Character Spacing,
set the Spacing to Expanded or Condensed in values of 1/10th point. Be
certain that it *is* needed by doing a test printout - remember that almost
any printer is a higher resolution device than a display, so it can arrange
the "dots" more precisely than what you see on screen. The "gap" may not
really be there, so altering the spacing may degrade readability rather than
improving it.

When I use Times New Roman font (Word 2003), the spacing between letters
sometimes looks really strange. Specifically the combination of "mme"
looks
like it has a space between the second "m" and the "e". Is there an easy
way
to fix this?
