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. -- Dana E.
