"Kerning" is a type of spacing between pairs of characters that would
otherwise appear to have too much space between them, such as A and W or V and A (see, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning). In hot-type days, the type pieces were actually shaved down so that they could fit more closely together. In computer typesetting, this is done electronically. Since this requires processing time, and since the result is much more noticeable at larger font sizes (and especially in large headlines that are more likely to be in all caps), Word economizes by turning kerning off at smaller font sizes. How well it works also depends on what kerning pairs are built into the font definition. -- Suzanne S.
