Default 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.

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.
