rendering the fonts in word 2013 is horrible!
Will Microsoft change it?
This is a similar problem like with Internet Explorer 9 & 10.
What is going on?
IE8 works good, Office 2010 also...

This did not help at all. I am unable to work.
Had similar issue with Office 2013 on a Surfacebook running Windows 10. The text looked terrible in Outlook on the external monitor. The laptop's internal screen looked fine.
I went into Control Panel > Display > Set a custom scaling level. Changed from 200% to 100%. Signed in and out and fonts are clear in Outlook.
