Vista - Re: default wordpad font

Thanks for the help, just what I wanted.
I knew there must be a way of doing it but my brain has atrophied!
Thanks once again,
Tony

Open Wordpad and select the typestyle and size desired. Press the space
bar once (if this isn't done the new size doesn't stick.)
Save as some simple filename (I use "default.rtf" without the quotes in
a location that won't require you to use quotes around any of the path.
Save as an .rtf file type.

Close Wordpad. Right click and drag the Wordpad icon from the
Accessories menu to the desktop and then select Copy when the mouse is
released. Right click on the new icon and left click Properties. Under
Target, press the End key on your keyboard (or get to the end of the
line which should be ...wordpad.exe" and type the full path and filename
one space behind the last quote on the line.

By double clicking on the new Wordpad icon you will open the file with
the new size. Just remember you will always have to File, SaveAs to
create a new filename, otherwise anything you save to the default file
will open the next time. What you are doing in effect is to create a
default template file like Word's normal.dot but since Wordpad doesn't
use templates you have to fake it.

Let us know if this helps.
