I am unable to replicate the problem with Consolas reported by HoresXB with Office 2003. I get a perfect alignment with the same characters. The same goes for other mono-spaced fonts, including Courier, Courier New, Lucida Console & OCR A Extended.

Likewise, the same mono-spaced fonts work fine in Word 2010. Given that, I suspect you have either a different:
• font ; and/or
• point size,
for the spaces from the other characters.
