Word 4 does not allow "fractional widths" on the Imagewriter, which is what is needed with Truetype to get good letter spacing. There have been several "steath upgrades" to Word--if you call Microsoft, they will allegedly send you the fix free of charge. I think the rev. is up to around 4.0h now. There is also a patch floating around the net that will enable fractional widths in Word. Note that in 4.0 (?) you can turn on fractional widths via the menu, but it will not take effect when printing! Richard C.
