My fonts are not displaying correctly

[Carolyn]

I have just reinstalled my Office 2003 and now most fonts (all except the
standard Arial, Times New Roman, etc) are not displaying correctly. They
look like they are really low resolution, the edges are jagged instead of
smooth and the text is illegible if the size goes below 10 points.
These same fonts are displaying as they should in other software
applications that do not belong to the Office suite, so it has nothing to do
with screen resolution.
This problem only started after I reinstalled Office last week.
Can anybody help me please?

Checked your zoom factor within the Office applications already? You might
be displaying things in 20%.

Does it also happen when you use Outlook as the e-mail editor?

I've just tried changing the e-mail editor like you suggested and it didn't
make a difference unfortunately.
I have this same problem in Outlook, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint (all my
Office 2003) applications, but not in any other software.

Tried a reïnstalled/repair already? Also make sure you then reapply the
Office Service Pack and additional updates.

If it still occurs then it might be better to continue this in office.setup
instead.

We solved the problem - I thought it had to do with my Office, but it turned
out to be the 'Smooth screen fonts' setting in Display Properties!
Thanks for your suggestions anyway...
