Here's one bug that didn't get squashed.  If you select 'Fractional
widths' in the printer dialogue (assuming you are printing with a
LaserWriter), the pagination shown in Page preview is NOT the same as
that of the printed document.  It seems that the use of 'Fractional
widths' tells Word (or the printer?) that it can adjust kerning and
inter-word spaces by smaller increments than those used when the
aforementioned optioned is not selected.  I can't seem to do anything
to make Page preview show the correct pagination.  Am I doing anything
wrong?  (And no, it doesn't have anything to do with the Chooser and
Page setup.)
