Re: Wordpad configuration "JimL" <inkleput[ at ]isp.com> 12/8/2008 8:58:00 PM Thanks. Wordpad is more than I need, except that it always starts with a small font so I have to always have to change it. -- JimL "Malke" <malke[ at ]invalid.invalid> wrote in message news:e$GWZDVWJHA.5456[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...

No doubt in all your searching you'll have found at least one of these sites, all essentially describing the same steps: http://www.pcworld.com/article/52364-3/windows_tips_make_desktop_text_easy_to_read.html http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/1111350488 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/24573-35-wordpad-default-font-font-size http://www.sptimes.com/2006/06/26/Technology/WordPad_workaround_wi.shtml http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-95/howto-change-default-font-wordpad/165943.html Or some sort of keyboard macro that will assign to a keyboard shortcut the "playing back" of the steps necessary for each new document, eg Ctrl+Alt+F6 (say) will invoke Ctrl+A, Alt, O, F, Tab, Tab, down arrow, down arrow, Enter. Beyond that, the consensus is that it can't be done per se. But the workaround of using a template seems completely adequate to me.

Start Wordpad Set the desired font and size Save the document Create a shortcut to the document saved above Click the shortcut created above instead of the normal Wordpad shortcut Make sure you use the "Save As..." command before changing the file's content (so you don't overwrite your "template").
