Hi, Robert.  Lately I haven't printed anything from wordpad or microsoft 
word.  Actually I did print out a baby blanket pattern I copied from a 
knitting book I read.  The font was arial and a point size of 13.  I checked 
another file I have in word and it was light but even if I were to change 
the font, I don't think that would make a difference.  I even had my sighted 
mother here to look at what I printed and she saw that what I printed didn't 
come out to where it could be read properly.  If I understand correctly, 
arial is supposed to be very easy for a sighted person to read.
