Except that large equations will overlap the lines above and below when
using "negative" line spacing.

The most practical solution we have found is simply to stick with Word 3.02,
which does not have this problem. (There are a half-dozen other reasons
why we find Word 3.02 superior to 4.0.  I wrote a letter to Microsoft once,
listing them all.)  So far, there are ONLY two special cases where Word 4.0
is needed and used: (1) when Word 4's table feature is needed, (2) when
making big-print documents for transparencies (it is easier to magnify the
document in Word 4's Page Setup than to make the type bigger because that
would involve resetting all of MathType's size preferences).
