I replaced the HD in my sister-in-laws Win98 computer. Installed Win98,
then her aps, which includes "Microsoft Works 6" (year 2000).

To our surprise, using the Word Processor, the letters are against each
other (no space between each letter)!!! It doesn't matter what font or letter
size you select. I have not been able to figure out how to correct this
issue. I have looked into the "Format", etc. settings.

Does anyone know what is causing this issue?

Quick Google search for "ms works 6 fonts squashed".

One website suggests reinstalling the printer driver used by Works.

Another says select some of your "squashed" text, right-click and pick "font"
(or use the dropdown menus from above), see if there's a "character spacing"
setting available, and see if it's set to "condensed".

Hi Sanity Clause,

Correction: Thank you for the information you found (not your suggestion).

I remembered that I did perform the second part of your reply,
"...right-click...", but everything I tried did not provide a "character
spacing" option. Also, "Help" didn't have any information regarding
"character spacing".

I don't have much faith in the printer driver as the cause because
using "Word Pad" in my sister-in-law's PC as a test, the text was normal with
normal spacing.

Does anyone else know the cause of this issue?

Thank You in advance, John
