Right, downloaded from your link, thanks. Looks good.
The smoothing of the letters is not quite the same, and the LCD/Laptop setting does the trick. Indeed, 'None' leaves more pixelation than V 9.
No old versions were showing in Programs and Features.
The thing about converting the files to Word is that I fully accept relaying the page out. I'd penciled in two hard weeks of final editing into that program, but what I don't know is the effect of hidden code/attributes being imported and that's why I wondered if Adobe might 'purify' the text, but as you say, it may well just increase the odds of problems.
Not quite ready to type the lot in afresh.
The original WP .wpd files are all Times New Roman. I can't see what Adobe makes of the fonts as a specific statement, but it looks much the same but with an improvement in letter spacing. Trying to get WP to stop r and n looking like m is problematical. Just can't hit the spot with WP Format controls. Anyway, Adobe resolves that in the layout.
I'll try a few different fonts to see the results.
A writing class said standardize on TNR, but now I'm hearing of editors/agents wanting a more simple text. It looks so . . . cheap. It seems I'll have to comply with the individual as you suggest.
I will never self-publish - too many friends with garages full of books.
