How to adjust space between letters?

Lift your pen from the paper!
If you would like a sensible answer, you need to tell us which version of
Word you are using. It pays to add the type of CPU and the version of your
operating system.

I thought this forum was for MS Word 2008 for MAC. That's why I didn't mention which version of Word I was using.
And my operating system does actually matter to "space between letters" in Word? I am curious about it. If you could explain for me, it would be great. Anyway, I am using OS X tiger. My MBP's processor is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and its Memory is 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
Adjusting space between letters is one of the most important feature when you write a formal paper. It is very easy to do that in Pages, Indesign, and previous Word(as far as I remember, I haven't used Word for several years)
I never understand why I can't see any for that in Formatting Palette. I just hope there is a way.
I hope I gave you as much as you need to please help me.
Lift your fingers from the keyboard!
Thank you,

The Formatting Palette only tries to make the most frequently used
features easier to access--it would be unusably cluttered if everything
were on there. Try Format | Font | Character Spacing.
Caveat: Word is really not designed to be a page layout application and
InDesign is nearly guaranteed to produce better results if the
appearance of the document is so important that you are dealing with
character spacing--but that's where the controls that Word offers are,
anyhow. I guess Insert | Symbol | Special Characters also lets you put
in different size spaces.
The forum is for all versions of MacWord--certainly X, 2004, and 2008
are still in common use and even the occasional 5.1/98/2001 question.
Version and OS should *always* be given when asking a question about
computers, because you never know when it might matter--and people might
not remember that, to create an imaginary example, that Word X in OS
10.3.9 had a certain uncommon bug, unless you trigger their memory by
pointing out that is what you are using. Ditto in Apple's forums,
emailing to complain that a website doesn't work, etc.

Actually its for any "recent" version of Mac Office. Possible Office2001
though that's a stretch, Office X, Office2004, and 2008

Prior to OS 10.5, you will find that
Format>Style>Modify>Format>Font>Character Spacing will do what you want.
Different answer in OS 10.5 and above.
We support about 20 versions of Word in here, and nearly as many types and
versions of operating systems. The capabilities of some versions (and the
available bugs!) vary by CPU type.
As soon as you mention kerning (which your question does...) we need very
specific information to be able to answer.
