I'm presently in the process of compiling a reference manual on Word 5.0,
and using the postscript printer driver to create a postscript file
which is subsequently uploaded to a Digital LPS40 Laser Printer for 
printing. Now my problam lies in the fact that a substantial part of the 
manual consists of entries such as:

       Classification...:  zrsygrhrhgfghgjgfrgbjfbhjgf
       Detection Method.:  frefhiufheheufhefhuewiuhfehf
       Removal Strategy.:  hfuhefdjhfdshfdjhfjdhfjdhfjh
       Name.............:  dfnhedbefdehfdefhjebfbefhj

Now all the fonts provided by the postscript driver, bar courier are not
character-proportional, and the problem is that if fonts such as Times-Roman
are used, the entries loose all trace of alignment. Is there a proportional
font available for Word 5.0 that is proportional, apart from Courier, which I
really don't want to use?

                          thanks..   
              				Michael
