It will not be honest to leave this sentence untouched. I was surprised
to see no kerning in MS Word, after all, they're already putting the
characters at the right position, and they have kerning information in
truetype fonts, so why word was not using it?
Actually, kerning is an option (in the font menu) disabled by default.
I missed it the first time.
So yes, MS Word does kerning (and you also can give your own horizontal
& vertical advances to each character, so you may write something as
\latex in Word in the same way than in TeX).
