hmm... maybe for some reason it didn't take the settings? Try it again, and if you didn't do it this way, try first changing the font, hitting OK, then save. Then, reopen that document you saved, change the margins, and save. See if that works. Silly question... but, I assumed you tried it more than once, to see if it would take? ---Troth ----- Original Message ----- From: Spider To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2002 7:57 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Notepad format options Opened Notepad, changed the settings in page setup .25 and the font. Then saved as Notepad.txt on my desktop, when I reopened it the settings on size were back to the old settings, but the font stayed correct? What did I do wrong? Also thank you for your help on this, it is trivial but sure would be nice to get it set up.

Open notepad, make the changes you want (such as the margin settings) and save the blank document with whatever name you'd like... could be anything. Let's say you save it as NOTEPAD.TXT, then what you do is change the Notepad shortcut to point to that file rather than to the NOTEPAD.EXE that it already points to. What this will do is open that file you created in notepad (assuming your txt files are associated with notepad). It'll be exactly as though you're opening notepad, no difference. Even the icon can be set up to look exactly as the notepad icon. If I've confused you, wand you want detailed instructions on how to do this, let me know and I'll write the exact instructions for you. ..::[Sir Troth]::.. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ICQ: 1717439 AIM: SirTrothX MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx YAHOO: SirTroth To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
