[comp.sys.mac.apps] MS Word fractional widths problem

Greetings,

  I'm using Word 4.0B on my Mac IIx with System 7.  I just wrote a letter
using the TrueType Times with fractional widths on.  While I type, my cursor
keeps jumping forward ahead of the insertion point, and the word wrap happens
on some lines when the line length is only about 75% of the way to the margin.

  Although it's the TrueType version of Times, I'm using 12pt, which has a
bitmap installed.

  Anybody else seen this?
