= SUMMARY =

If you are running Adobe Type Manager (ATM) in Microsoft Word and you select the Preserve: Character Shapes option in ATM (in the Control Panel), unusual line spacing can occur. The line spacing will look expanded on the screen as well as in the printed output.

To correct this problem, do the following:


 * 1) From the Control Panel, choose ATM.
 * 2) Select Preserve: Line Spacing and close the Control Panel.
 * 3) Restart the Macintosh for this change to take effect.

The Preserve: Character Shapes setting in ATM causes unusual line spacing in Word because the font bounding box (the smallest box that encloses all characters in a given typeface when their origins are overlaid) reserves space greater than the point size of the font.

For more information, call Adobe Technical Support at (408) 986-6500.
