Hiring a Word specialist or professional to fix my problem

Line spacing depends on the font used. In particular, some "full" Unicode
fonts may have larger line spacing than "ordinary" fonts.

You can specify a fixed value for line spacing to improve the appearance of
the document (use the "Exactly" option in the Paragraph dialog box).

Hello, I have tried and tried to fix this spacing problem with a word
document
(actually a long list of documents). They have special characters
(scientific
characters) that are not being displayed in Times New Roman. So I found this
font called Fontrue that fixes the problem of the special characters and I
can
see them properly, but then the spacing of the document gets too large and I
don't understand why because both fonts are very similar to each other.

If anyone can help, I will gladly pay. It's a list of more than a hundred
files
that need this fix.

Thanks!

Stefan Blom, I know I already posted this to you in another forum, but I am pasting it here now so that other people can see. =)

The problem is big...

I did try many values for fixed line spacing and none of them worked.

Before conversion (notice the symbol not showing in the red box): http://i43.tinypic.com/eu2d1u.png
After conversion: http://i41.tinypic.com/33y03ys.png

There are too many files like that and they were all converted from PDF.

There are also images in the document and when converted this happens http://i39.tinypic.com/11ade1g.png

(The text goes over the image)

Also, the headers and footers get disconfigured and start to appear in the middle of the sheets. One thing that could work is to simply delete all headers and footers before converting the font (how do you do that? I have tried deleting them but I can only do one at once)

I guess my main interest would be to just delete all headers and footers at once, make the text not go over the image (make the image be like part of the text) and then delete all page breaks, line breaks, etc (I already know how to do the latter).

I am willing to pay if you can help me. =)

Thank you!

I tried to make the image "aligned with text", but no success. Then I found out what I see as an image is actually several layers, I had to delete like 5 layers to get rid of 1 image.

If I replace the image with another from my computer, then the option to align the image with the text and other image alignment options are available.

Anyone knows of a better PDF to Word converter?

I used Nitro PDF.

It depends on if the pdf was an OCRed image and the OCR software used,
and how well it was used. I suggest ABBYY
