I knew what "goose pimples" were, since I've heard it before, and it makes sense, but not just plain "pimples." But that's off-topic...
I've noticed that when I write something in Word using Calisto MT, the spacing in Normal view is quite a bit different than in Page Layout view, which is how the pages will print. It's a little annoying, but it's not too hard to compensate for the wider spacing by switching to Page Layout view (or even Print Preview). It's just something you've got to put up with. After all, despite its flaws (and the 6 fingers it will cost you), Word is still one of the best, fully-featured word processors you can buy.
