Suzanne - that's perfect. As you implied, it took a bit of fiddling and
measuring the length of the line against the new one by dragging the right
hand tab setting to the left but I've managed it. Yet another little tip
for my "black book"!

Best wishes.

On the Character Spacing tab of the Format | Font dialog is a Scale
setting.
You need to think laterally to make this work, however, since it doesn't
make letters taller or shorter, only wider or narrower. So you will need
to
increase the font size, then decrease the scale to less than 100% (making
the letters narrower).
