    « on: March 04, 2014, 03:37:06 PM »
    Wordpad when I size it to 16 it'll go back to 11 the next time I use wordpad.
    Also whe I type in wordpad it will be set at 16,but if I copy & paste in it
    it'll be in 11 size.How can I correct that?

    ... WordPad is different with Microsoft Office Word. There is not configuration to set default font and size. That’s a by design with WordPad. You can use Microsoft Word instead of WordPad which can set default font.

    Use another tool, like Word, and set the default values.

    Wordpad is just a 'make do' for when you don't have nothing better.

    I'd suggest LibreOffice or Open Office for a free alternative. I have used Open Office for many years and it works well. You can also open MS Office documents with it as well as save in MS Office format for others with MS Office to be able to view your documents or spreadsheets etc.

    NOTE: Some download sites are bogus.
    They include  ad -ware or some other junk you don't want.
    Here is one of the clean ones:

    No need to download other stuff. Just Libre Office.
