Wordpad font default

[Ian Hutcheson]

Whenever I open ' WORDPAD ' it starts with the Font Arial
at size 10, but I would like it to open as Verdana Western
size 12 as a default WORDPAD document.
I have tried Format/Font and selecting Verdana Western
size 12, but this seems to select this format for the
document in use only, (which I could have acheived from
the Format toolbar anyway), and new docs start with Arial
size 10 again.
It is probably something basic that I missed but I would
be grateful to know if there is a way around this. Thanks.

Make your default change THEN reboot. My changes always STICK after this
procedure.

Ian;
As near as I can tell, you are SOL. There is no such thing as templates
with Wordpad. If you want this feature, you will have to shell out $$$ for MS
Word. Or there might be a Registry tweak. Yep. Look here:

Start WordPad the Way You Want
The short answer is, you can't. But you can work around this limitation fairly
easily.
