Cindy,
Sorry, I should have mentioned that particular exception. Publishers often
space between titles to make the title more attractive. Word allows you to
gain the same visual effect but still maintain the structural integrity by
indicating a different spacing between characters.

Actually, Pratik, there are many cases where the
letters are widely spaced in the print--widely being
two or three space bar touches. However, I do close
them up now, since people have said that they are
annoying. I don't think changes like that are any
worse than closing end-of-line hyphens or making very
large print smaller. I used to try to get the print of
titles and authors as close to the original as I
could, but then people posted that when they get too
large they can't be read, so now I downsize them. I
think a 36 point font is the largest that can be read
easily, depending on what type font is being used.
