The font in Photoshop looks like it's being stretched, anyone know how to resolve this issue? I want it to looks the same as in Word.

    Hi Adam,

    I see an insertion point in the Word text, but not in the Photoshop text. Please click and insertion point with the Type  tool and post another screen shot of the text and the Character panel.

    Is it Point type or Area type?

    I've tried it with Horizontal Scale set to 100%, but still doesn't looks right

    To reduce the amount of space between characters (aka kerning), select the Text tool,  highlight text and hit ALT+ left direction key.  To increase kerning, use ALT+right direction key.  Move cursor between letters to fine tune your kerning.
