I haven't seen anyone in this thread mention something that I find
convenient for this display problem associated with fractional
widths. The thing is you do want fractional widths enabled for
better output if you're printing to a Postscript LaserWriter. But
you get a really difficult to read screen, so the solution is to
turn fractional widths on and off. This is much easier if you go to
the commands dialog and add Fractional Widths to the regular menu
display of Word. This gives you a quick way to see if fractional
widths is currently on or off since it puts a check mark next to
the menu item and it is much easier to change than having to always
go to the dialog box to find the check box.
Another way to make sure that you have a readable font on the
screen for editing and a good font for printing is to leave
fractional widths on but switch your Normal font to some
non-LaserWriter font like New York while editing and then switch it
back to Times, Palatino or whatever for final page layout and
printing.
