Size of printing?
« on: July 12, 2011, 02:49:41 PM »
Hi -
I am writing on Work pad.  I set the font size at 14 for my heading and 12 for the rest of the writing.  However when I print it out the size is 10.  How can I get it to print what I am using to do the writing?  I am using Vista Home Basic   32 bit.
I'm sure the answer is simple but I'm not too good on this computer.   Thanks for help.    Bob

What did you do?
In Word Pad the font only applies to the current selection. You can select the whole document with ctrl-A and change the font. Then go back and sleet just something else.

Thanks for the reply.  You helped but I would like to have 2 font sizes.  I would like the headings to be in 14 size and the body of the writing to be in 12.   Any other suggestions?    Bob

Highlight the text you want to be 14 pt and select 14 pt in the font size drop down. Do likewise for the text you want to be 10 pt and finally choose Print Preview and confirm it is right.
