SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you format text with both small capital letters (small caps) and capitalized italic letters, large gaps between the capitalized italics and small capitals appear. This problem is caused by the overhang of the italic character. The text still prints correctly.

The font kerning feature of Word version 6.0 does not affect this problem.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Type Hello. How Are You?
 * 2) Select the line. From the Format menu, choose Character, and select the Italic and Small Caps check boxes.

Large gaps appear between the first letter, which is a capitalized italic letter, and the rest of the word.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
