= SUMMARY =

When the underscore character is superscripted, Word does not display it on the screen in graphics mode. This is due to the way Word builds the superscript characters for display in graphics mode.

To produce superscripted characters (and small caps), Word randomly removes some lines of pixels to make these characters smaller. In the case of the underscore character, Word removes the only line of pixels that the underscore has.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Word Versions 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, and 4.00. This problem was corrected in Word Version 5.00.
