----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-232555997_-_- Content-type: text/plain I agree with Bob. Setting the initial size of a new document is obscure at least (not obvious). I can't answer this question. -Doug Danforth Bob Walkden wrote: When I open a new document using File -> New it takes the width and height from the values shown in the Tools -> Document Size dialog, and I can use the same dialog to resize the document. On my system the Width value defaults to Page Width, currently set at 6.16, and the Height value defaults to Window Height. This means that each new document is ridiculously tall and thin and I always have to change it, which is very annoying. How do I change the defaults so that it creates new documents at Window Width as well as Window Height? I have tried to trace the code backwards, but it is absurdly complicated and not really worth the effort. -- Regards, Bob ---- To unsubscribe, send a message with body "SIGNOFF BLACKBOX" to LISTSERV{([at]})nowhere.xy ---- To unsubscribe, send a message with body "SIGNOFF BLACKBOX" to LISTSERV{([at]})nowhere.xy ----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-232555997_-_- Content-type: application/rtf Content-transfer-encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment;
