wordpad no easir to read on larger monitor peteransleydotcom <peteransleydotcom.2b3uwn[ at ]no-spam-here.com> 17.07.2006 19:45:15 I have a 19 inch monitor set to 1024x768res on winxp. I did this to increase my ability to read on the computer screen. HTML auto sizes page and text to fit the screen and is easy to see without changing fonts, margins etc. Wordpad only autosizes the frame to fit, nothing else gets any larger. So documents leave a lot of space to the right of ruler which in turn makes the documents no easier to read than when on a smaller monitor. Even if I increase the font size it just puts big letters in the same small space. Unfortunately 3.5 additional inches go beyond the ruler, to the right, in which nothing is displayed but more blank tool bar. The Wrap to screen option allows you to use the whole screen but the letters are still as small as on the wrap to ruler otion. Imagine buying a book with large print to read and you have to put the book across the room from you. I would prefer the margin setting on the ruler go all the way across the screen, thus enlarging documents, proportionate to size of the screen, so that I can read them easier and the printer scale it for view on the document. The ruler can say 7 inches but go all the way across the screen. Is there a command, code change, regedit fix for this other than turning on the disability access? contact me through peteransley.com, these threads are pretty hard to read too.

Why not try posting in a newsgroup intended for WordPad? You might also look into Windows' Accessibility Options, which include a Magnifier. -- Suzanne S.

Re: wordpad no easir to read on larger monitor peteransleydotcom <peteransleydotcom.2b4dw0[ at ]no-spam-here.com> 18.07.2006 02:40:37 I regret exposing my further frustration. There is no "wordpad" forum. Forgive me, but I keep forgetting the only thing about MS that really irritates me is that word 95, word 6, word 8, word 97, word 2000, word Nth power, word pad,winwrite, notepad, and almost EVERY VERSION of MS WORKS are all designed to have almost nothing to do with the other. Hence 5 years of work in 500 docs made in win 3.1 and first MS WORKS are lumps of unintelligible text in win xp, along with my can't open WPwin docs. I was the first person I knew to get a PC when computing was a new thing. Since I've been writing all that time, and not buying every new OS that MS designed. Let's try this instead, is there a non MS, non Adobe, word processor, NOT as large as the Open source one, that will probably be READABLE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS. Perhaps that MIGHT have a help site?
