RE: need a font similar to Courier to use for code

["Newman, Sarah" <snewman -at- bechtel -dot- com>]

Gilda,

For our code samples, we use 9 pt. Courier New, condensed by 0.3 pts (in
Word 97, you can condense using the Character Spacing tab in the Fonts
dialog box).  It takes up less space but still looks like code.
