A likely explanation is that Word can only use fonts that the current printer driver is capable of printing. It may be that your purchased font is not compatible with the current printer driver or the way that it is configured, so Word will substitute a font of similar type from the available fonts that the driver is capable of printing. This might show the font as 'compressed' when compared to the original.

I think you need to start by investigating the installation and compatibility of your purchased font with the currently active printer driver.
