I just inserted a text frame. I right click and choose Format text frame. There is a button on the Layout tab called Settings. (I'm not sure what it's called in English Word, I only have Swedish) There I can set the position of the frame relative margins, page, column, paragraph etc. And I can set it in centimeters with two decimal places. > Word.

I just tried a text with letters AVAVAVAVAVA. I highlight two adjacent letter, chose Format->Text and the spacing tab and change the distance between those two letters. For two of them I expanded 4 poits, for another two I condensed two points. Worked like a charm, I now have two letters almost overlapping and two so far away it looks as if there is a SPACE between them (but it isn't). This in the very same "word" (if you can say AVAVAVAVAVA is a word:-). That's why whenver people say Word can't do things, I think they haven't explored it enough:-) /Peter
