I've noticed that in word 3.01, when you use Fractional Widths--as I always
do--they are not displayed properly by Quickdraw.  The output on the Laser-
Writer is fine, but on the screen the right edge is  rather  jagged.   This
*does* happen in PagePreview as well as in the edit mode.

Is this a standard (ie. known) problem?  Is there a cure?  I  should  point
that I usually use a 1M MacPlus w/ Apple 20meg  hard  drive  (not  SCSI--oh
well, you use what is available, I guess) and a LaserWriterPlus.

[I am an operator in a public Mac/Vt100 facility, and use the Macs in  the
 facility.  I don't own one yet.                                          ]

Some users here are often wonderring why their justified text is so ragged.
Occaisonally it has even happened in WriteNow.  (I've yet to find a way  to
turn it on/off from w/in WriteNow).

Any help/pointers are appriciated.
