even letter spacing for bold fixed font keithg 12/29/2008 1:05:00 AM I frequently use a non-proportional font (Courier), and use BOLD to highlight portions (words or parts of a word) of text. I used to be able to set a flag (before word-2000) so that the BOLDed word within a sentence retained the same spacing that it had before the text was emboldened and all my columns stayed lined up, but I cannot now find that flag. Where is it please?

Word cannot print or display screen fonts and will substitute an alternative if Courier is used in a document. Courier New is a truetype font that Word can both display and print. Courier New and CourierPS (a printer resident font) both appear to occupy the same horizontal space when emboldened as you would expect from a monospaced font. The compatibility options for Word 2007 (I assume you are talking about 2007) are at the bottom of the advanced section of Word Options. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> keithg wrote: [Quoted Text] > I frequently use a non-proportional font (Courier), and use BOLD to > highlight portions (words or parts of a word) of text. > I used to be able to set a flag (before word-2000) so that the BOLDed > word within a sentence retained the same spacing that it had before > the text was emboldened and all my columns stayed lined up, but I > cannot now find that flag.
