Default font size

[George]

Hi!
The default font size in WordPad is 10
How do I change it?
Opening a doc. and changing size is OK, but save and re-open and it's back
to 10!

Hi!

Yes it did indeed help.
First, it said that I couldn't do what I wanted.
Second, the suggested workaround didn't work, but I will try it again.
(May have made typing error!)
Third, it made me try Notepad, which does let me change default size,
and achieve my goal!

So, many thanks.
(How do people know where all this information is?)

Here is another way.

1. Open Wordpad.
2. Type a space.
3. Select that space and apply Font type and size. And whatever other
formatting you may want.
4. Click File, Save As and save as WpadTmpl.wri.
5. Close Wordpad.
6. Locate WpadTmpl.wri, right click it, select Properties, on the General
tab click the Read-only box and click OK.
7. Open WpadTmpl.wri, Save As whatever and type whatever.
8. Use WpadTmpl.wri to open Wordpad whenever you want it to default to
whatever settings.

Setting WpadTmpl.wri to Read-only means that it cannot be changed or
accidentally deleted. So that you do not forget to Save As when you open
WpadTmpl.wri and start typing a bunch and mess up your Wordpad "template".
