If you specify the line spacing as a NEGATIVE number of points Word will
not automatically pad the spaces.  POSITIVE numbers are taken as minimum
spacing.  This is in the documentation, as are the answers to several
complaints I've seen anguished over in this space.  Admittedly, Word is
not as Macish as I'd like it to be, but upon reading the documentation
it can do almost anything a word processor has to do.  I've only been
using 3.0 for two weeks now (still no bombs, did Microsoft change
something between what some folks got and what I did?) and I'll never go
back to 1.05.

The only bugs I've seen are 1) The mess of temporary files in the system
folder (all empty glossaries, possibly something is wrong with saving
glossaries.  Note:  no temp files showed up before I started using the
glossary).  2) Using the laserwriter driver rearanges the margins and
indents.  This is a pain.  It's possible that it was put in because of
the dead space on the edges of the laserwriter page, but there had to be
a better way.
