Write Now does have the ability to do this; I forget just where (page
setup? preferences?). Look for the phrase "use printer spacing",
which is what they call it.

I haven't tried Word 4 with an Imagewriter, but with my HP
LaserJet/MacPrint there is a fractional spacing box in Page Setup.

Now that I've had a few days to get used to ATM, I'm extremely pleased
with it.  The printed results are everything I'd hoped for; and the screen
fonts are excellent.  I did find that for my use, I needed to up the
font cache size from the default 96k.  I expect that for more normal
word processing work, 96k would work fine, but in Pagemaker, with
several fonts in several sizes on one page, using 96k was pretty
sluggish.  I'm using 256k now, which works fine, but is probably
overkill.
