Spacing between letters in Times New Roman font
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? |

twansalem :
CyberTaz is right. You can also try viewing the suspect characters at different (higher) m agnifications. If it's not there at 500% it's probably not there at all. Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 |

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. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "twansalem" wrote in message ...
