I want to thank everyone who replied to my first cry for help about
10pt Times font in WORD.

 (Quite a few people, thanks!)

Synopsis of Suggestions:
-----------------------
New Fonts:
	Most people suggested getting the Adobe fonts.  I will
	ftp them, and give it a try.

Type in 12 point:
	A nice idea, but it isn't acceptable.  Kind of defeats the
WYSIWYG feature.  I mean, try to tell your boss "Yeah, the Mac is
really nice, we can see what we're typing laid out correctly, as long
as we do it in a big font, and then switch just before printing"
Might as well stick in IBM monochrome ASCII.  I need the WYSIWIG for
precise formatting.


QUESTION:

	Would a nice large screen B&W monitor help?
