SYSTEM: Mac IIvx 20/400 with Mirror 400 Mb external drive, LW IINT,
        Word 5.0 or 5.1a

When printing fully justified text in Word, text formatted in Helvetica
font of any size runs off the printed page as if the right margin was
set beyond the end of the page (it isn't). There are huge amounts
of extra white space between each word, which push the text off the
page. Sections of text in other fonts (eg. Times, Avant Garde) on 
the same page are formatted corretly. 

When I view the page using print preview, the text displays something
l ik   e  th is w h er  e      th e  spacing is all wrong and the 
lines run over the right margin. Page Layout and Normal views both
show the text formatted correctly. I see this problem with Word 5.0 
and 5.1a. It looks like Word is finding the typeface info, but has
lost the character width info for the Helvetica font. Increasing the
right margin to something large, say 4", puts text on the page, but
the spacing is still screwed.

Both Word and the documents live on the Mirror external HD - this combo
worked ok on a SE/30 running System 7.0. The problems started when
we upgraded from the SE/30 to the IIvx running System 7.1.
I've tried everything I know - trash preferences, re-install fixed and
TT fonts, rebuilt desktop, install Word on IIvx internal HD, disabled
extensions, use System 7.0 LW driver, turn off 32-bit mode, and so on
without being able to solve this problem. The frustrating part is 
that only Helvetica (the font we need) is affected - Times,
NewCentury, Palatino, Bookman, ect all print correctly. Plug the
Mirror back into the SE/30, open and print a document in Word and 
volia! - correctly formatted Helvetica text. Plug it into the IIvx
again and the problem reappears.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can try short of trashing
and re-installing everything on both disks?
