I'm not seeing that here, but possibly an AutoCorrect entry has been set up
to substitute an ff ligature for two f's. This character is not present in most fonts (though some do contain the fi and fl ligatures), but it is available in "expert" fonts and possibly in OpenType fonts (though not necessarily accessible directly in Word's Symbol dialog. You might try asking this question in the microsoft.public.word.printingfonts NG.

If it's a display issue only, then it's probably a video driver issue or an
issue with the display font. If it doesn't print that way, then I would consider it not worth worrying about. -- Suzanne S.

It is not a display driver issue, it is an MS Word issue. When I do the same
thing in notepad, the characters are evenly spaced. I must have an answer to this problem, it is not something that I can ignore. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

I've had issues with Publisher that didn't occur in other programs and they
were video driver issues. And before you say that you are talking about Word,not Publisher, those two program do share certain "quirks". I will ask again - did you look at the file on another computer? *IF* it appears on that computer as well, then it could be a ligature.*IF* it doesn't, they it could be a video driver issue. Sometimes you need to rule out a setting on your computer before you go blaming the program. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Peter Olcott" wrote in message news:JLZmf.23188$QW2.20129@dukeread08...
