Default Need a font that condenses well in Word

I've been using Adobe Garamond Pro, 11pt. for the body-text on my books. With these margins (see below), this has worked well with full justification. I do have to go through and condense the font in certain areas by 0.1pt. to make it look less like this. There's something about Adobe Garamond Pro that works like magic, where other fonts would make the text unreadable. I've experimented over and over, and found a "sweet spot" between font size, margins, and readability.



I'm moving up to a laser printer which changes everything, so I'd also like to start experimenting with other fonts with good scalability. What is your go-to font that works well with how Word manages scalability?


Here's my typical page setup:
1. Font: Adobe Garamond Pro 11pt
2. Margins: Book Fold, 20 pages/sheet
Top/Inside/Bottom = .38
Outside = .5
3. Paragraph: First line indent = 0.2
Window Orphan = OFF
4. Justification = FULL
