Word does support fractional widths, but not when the Imagewriter driver is
selected. There is a patch to fix this problem that was posted on CompuServe
and here (several times - once yesterday). ATM and Word do work, but the 
spacing, especially w/o fractional widths can be undesirable.

I can't really comment on this except to say that users should send in their
reg cards and they'll here from Adobe when any changes are done. Adobe is
working on every problem reported by the users.

Hope that answers your question.
