MACINTOSH:4.0,5.0,5.1

MACINTOSH

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

Text exported from Aldus PageMaker to Microsoft Word for the Macintosh versions 4.0 and 5.x may have different line spacing and character size than it did while in PageMaker.

= CAUSE =

This problem occurs because PageMaker supports half-point type sizes and line spacing.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Half-point type is rounded down to the next even number in Word. For example, 14.5-point type in PageMaker becomes 14-point type in Word.

In Word 4.0 only, half-point leading from PageMaker is rounded up to the next integer number. For example, 12.5-point leading in PageMaker becomes 13-point leading in Word.
