I can't answer that question, but condensed text isn't the only thing that
confuses Word. Italics and other styles often seem to. Other than screwing
up the margins, Word also forgets where the cursor is. I often have to
put the cursor three or four characters *after* the place I want to edit!
This may all be part of the same problem, and its annoying. Maybe in 4.1?
As a general response, though, Word is far from being a page layout
program, primarily because it provides very little control over *pages*.
I only use it for drafts or very simple technical manuals.
