HELP! Word 2003 changes from italics to bold and spaced out.

[jeffmccann]

Hi, I've been looking around the board and have not seen anything o
this issue, so I decided post a new thread.

This is a fresh install of Office XP, whenever I highlight a smal
section of text (maybe one or two lines) and click "italics" th
highlighted selection instead of becoming italics, goes to a weir
looking format. it changes to bold and heavily spaced characters. I
there any way to fix this?

I'm desperate, I have a ton of reviews and features to write and Wor
2003 scares me.



Thanks in advance.

Jeff

Word are invisible in the font list and there are webpages that I hav
a problem seeing.
