Using Mignon font increases width between lines so more pages
I have replaced my Times Roman Font in normal style with Mignon but it has
wider space beteen the lines. How do I control this so the width is same as TR not wider as it becomes? TIA/gary |

Using Mignon font increases width between lines so more pages
If the letters in Mignon are wider than the letters in TNR, it's
naturally going to take more space. If you want to squash the letters together so they start to overlap, go to the second tab of the Font dialog and set a number for "Condensed." If you're talking about line spacing, if your paragraph style is set to Single or Double (etc.) spacing, if Mignon's letters are taller than TNR's letters, then Word leaves more space for them. You can make Word use the same line spacing by setting an Exactly value (in points) instead of Single, Double, etc., in the Paragraph dialog.

Set the line spacing to Exactly and choose an amount that will match the
line spacing of TNR. This is approximately 120% of the nominal font size, so for 10-pt TNR it is 12 points, for 12-pt TNR 14.4 points, and so on. Keep in mind, though, that the line spacing (leading) built into a font is designed for the most effective display of that font. If a font has a larger x-height, then more leading may be required to make it readable. TNR was designed to be cost-effective for newspapers and consequently is very compact. -- Suzanne S.
