How to keep personal font settings in WordPad

How to store personal settings for the type of police and size, more than line and spacing of the paragraphs in Windows 7 Rich Text Documents, while maintaining its usual use:

Given that so many people around the web keep struggling with this problem, I feel obliged to present this tried and proven method that is simplicity at its best. In short, the guru on this forum, who spend much of their time to help others-"Thank You". The following message is verbose by need, but I'm sure you will like the instructions step by step short and easy at the end...

First, The bad news

Some workarounds previously suggested here and elsewhere are close, but not close enough. Users are greatly hampered by confusion and/or incomplete sets of instructions; or having to adopt complex usage patterns; or be forced to open a WordPad only one place model (that is, when pinned to a jumplist Taskbar, or by creating and using a shortcut); or having to perform the steps that are totally useless as having previously entered text in their newly created documents; or told to change the default path of the properties for the program WordPad itself (a popular PC mag); etc... And all-the-moment, whenever this subject is revisited a perpetual solution is proposed.

Next - The good news

For more than a decade now, I used WordPad widely enough for simple daily documentation purposes (rather than my Office Suite), and of course millions more can claim the same thing. I would now like to share with everyone of the silver bullet that allows me to open a text Document 'CLEAN' new, with ALL of my desired policy rich and held spacer and settings anywhere on my PC, except the start menu.

This method integrates with drop down menus for all partitions and folders file, as well as the context menu in all locations, including the office. The only exception is when you open the WordPad program directly via the start menu, in fact where you will continue to get the windows settings by default, if necessary.

I really not remember the last time I personally went up out of my way to open a new rich text Document in the menu start, because the work is simply not executed in this place. And there is no need to use a shortcut or for WordPad Jumplist because I am able to simply create a new custom file since that she has planned at the site as usual, including a right-click on the desktop as you wish.

Now--The really good news

This insertion of registry is actually quite simple and works perfectly, more instructions are easy to understand, and the process takes up to 5 minutes to implement. New personal settings for fonts and spacing are actually kept in a document template and the settings can be changed in the future at will.

The procedure simply uses a subroutine model integrated in Win7, in order to circumvent annoyingly entrenched WordPad default settings. The location for your personal style is the same place where the default read-only Journal Document for Windows Journal to access under Tablet PC - it is a very similar process.

Re-designation functions remain unchanged in their behavior, so regardless of the name given to a new document (including the exact title of the model), the model is NEVER overwritten even if it is not made read-only.

This operation is also totally reversible, simply by removing the template file and the registry of the string value that are initially created without loss of function or stability. Properties and default settings of the WordPad program is in no way modified, through the registry or otherwise - they remain fully intact, as it absolutely should.

Windows 7 by default / / My desired settings

Font: Calibri / / Arial

Font size: 11 / / 12

Line spacing: 1,15 / / 1.0

Line spacing: Added / / deleted

Step 1 - creating a model of personal settings

(a) In C:\Windows\ShellNew\ create a new rich text named "WordPad settings my model" Document (or whatever you want to name the template, and without quotation marks, just DO NOT add .rtf at the end of the name of this file or it won't work).

(b) open and edit this file to desired settings for the font type and size, line and spacing of paragraphs. Any other setting change is at your own discretion.

(c) now, don't forget to hit enter several times (I personally prefer x 5) in order to have several white at the beginning of the model space, which will retain your font settings (with the exception of the last space, who, once left empty always lies with the police by default Windows, similar to the way Windows XP always - used to remember?).

(d) he has absolutely NO need to type characters in this model! To facilitate the making changes to your settings, the model should NOT be made Read-Only - after all, the location of the file is relatively off the beaten path. Don't forget to save before you close this document.

Step 2 - Add a new string value in the registry

Small Word: If you don't know how to Open regedit, I say this - look at the registry a lot as you would with a good guard dog. There is no reason to fear of biting, unless you do something that you're not supposed to do. However, you MUST display it the respect it deserves! Now type regedit into the search box on your Start menu and click the program on the top...

(a) Open regeditand in the left column, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rtf\ShellNew. To add a new string value, right-click on C:\windows\shellnew and select New > string value, type 'filename' in the field (without the quotation marks or space), and then press enter.

(b) in the window to the right, right click on the new "file name" field and click on change..., then set the value data to "My WordPad settings Template.rtf" (or whatever you named your model exactly and without quotation marks, and this entry SHOULD include the extension .rtf at the end of the file name). Click OK and exit regedit.

(c) now, you'll be able to create a new text Document rich from anywhere, as always, you have already, with many empty spaces which are ready for typing with your favorite settings already in place (unless you use the start menu, which will still open up WordPad with all the default settings of Windows 7).

I hope that this information in the interest of others as much as he to me in my daily computing. Answers are most welcome - however, first of all, try the procedure that you may be able to give a comment founded in practical use. Thank you. :)

Happy keyboards - Larry

Hi Larry,

Brilliant tip finally my 'Verdana 10' glue!  Just a pity the old Wordpad does not work.

Would you mind if I gave a brief summary on a forum, I belong to with a link to here. Credit full etc etc etc.

Now if I could only stop Office? Remove .rtf in the contextual menu "new", just "cos I don't want to associate it.

TIA

Well, that's my two-penneth worth

  • I can't go in the settings of fonts. How to change the font size?

    I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and I finished it sync for my Android phone. I went into a kind of dialog box settings and accidentally changed my fonts and text settings and now I can't read any of my Gmail which is in my account on my desktop - it's too small. I'm trying to figure out how I can enter in the content settings (I feel that I do once I have enter the menu 'options' on the content settings page, but I don't know how to bring up the menu of the content/page settings). I use my desktop PC for work and I can't use it with the font settings and how they are now. I also read where the issues are taken, but no one knows how to find the answers to the questions people are asking. How do we get the answers that people give us on the issue, we asked?

    I hope you can help me as soon as POSSIBLE, I can change what I as soon as POSSIBLE. I'm working on my pc 24/7 for the work and is not helping me when I can't read the emails and I can't solve the problem.

    Hi Upset2,

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with font sizes in Firefox on your desktop.

    Text sizes really small for each Web site you visit, or is it just your emails?
    Text sizes are really small on your desktop and Android or only one?

    There are several things that could cause your text sizes to seem strange, so I'll take you by a couple.

    First of all, your email page could have a zoom. On your PC, could you please try open Gmail and then by clicking on the icon at the top right of your screen that looks like three lines?

    This will bring up a new menu and near the top of the menu are three buttons: a minus (-), a percentage (that is to say, he could say 70%) and a plus (+). Please click button percentage - this should Gmail zoom to 100%.

    If that doesn't fix it, let's try using the method on your printout. To access the content settings screen, click the button in the top right that looks like three lines. Click on Preferences. A new window will open. Click on the 'Content' button and follow the instructions that you change the font size.

    There is another version of the instructions I just gave you, with screenshots, here: font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages

    Mozilla Support issues are all handled by volunteers, and at peak hours, there may be a delay. Thanks for your patience!

    Looks like you have adjusted the font size minimum in Safari preferences, but fonts aren't quite big enough, so you want to know if there is another option in addition to zoom.

    Due to levels of zoom browser and personal user settings, there is no possible way to ensure an alignment of text on the web, unless you use images of the text.  Of course, this isn't an option because images of text cannot be indexed by search engines, screen readers or translators of language.

  • How to specify the font type and size (in points)

    I often cut and paste from Word, Excel, or web pages in e-mail messages in TB. TB often done strange things, which the text is copied in it, making the text bigger or smaller and I can't understand how to change it. While I understand how to change the font (through Format |) (Police), the resize options are limited to the x-small, small, medium, etc. (Screen attached). My goal is to have the text I copy matches the size and font that I use to compose the rest of the email, but I find it almost impossible to do when my only options for size are x-small, small, medium, etc. Any suggestions?

    I suggest you paste by using 'paste unformatted' (ctrl + shift + v, or in the edit, or on the context menu) to make any case adopts and adapts to the development shaped by default resident.

    Use of the stationery add-on would allow you to define your styles in points, but I think it's misplaced effort. You have no say in what your correspondents to view your messages, what personal preferences that they apply or what limits their devices assert. Try to fix it with explicit sizes is ultimately useless to your correspondents. 'Medium' means that they see the message to the size that they want, not what you inflict on them.

  • How to keep certain cookies are removed from the closing of Firefox

    Hello

    I wonder how to keep cookies some website when Firefox is closed, for example, I've spent some time on www.kongregate.com with that is a flash games site and you may suspect that I like to keep my progress of these games, for future visits, however, whenever I close Firefox it automatically deletes the files of "C:\Users\ < I > \AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash #SharedObjects\ #------assets.kongregate.com------." that file saved kongregate games and I want to keep that, anyway, I'll post a list of my privacy settings to help you help me achieve what I write here everything as 'ON' mean that the box has check and 'OFF' that is not:

    Follow-up:

    -Say the sites that I don't want to be tracked - SUITE

    -Conservation rules: use the custom settings for history

    -Always use private browsing - OFF mode

    -Keep until: I close Firefox

    -Clear history when Firefox closes - SUITE

    Here's my current settings which I think should allow me to keep the cookies from kongregate while other cookies are deleted, but if this isn't the case, please tell me which options should be set at what to me keep cookies of kongregate, if it is not possible to have that then please suggest me a few extensions that would allow me to keep the cookies to kongregate when deleting others.

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know why you wrote above: Cookies - OFF If you were clear cookies.
    Clear cookies that also erase cookies (including Flash local storage), so I have say that if cookies have been included in this list.
    That's why I posted to check in safe mode because it would be another possibility.

    To summarize:

    In case you use "clear history of Firefox closing:

    • do not delete Cookies
    • do not delete Site preferences

    Deletion of cookies will delete all specified (selected) cookies, including cookies that have an exception permit.

    Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

    Allow all cookies expire when you close Firefox.

    To allow an exception for those you want to keep.

  • Yoga Tablet 2-1050 - how to change the fonts

    Hello

    Just bought my compressed Yoga 2-1050 and really like it. Updated to Android 5.0, and everything works great.

    A question, however: does anyone know how to change the font (not font size) on my device not rooted?

    Thank you!

    You can't change the fonts by default on an android device, except if the option has been enabled by the devs - in which case, it will be somewhere in the menu "settings".

    However, there are two workarounds:

    1. install another Launcher to game Google store. Different allow different settings such as the layouts of different menu, different fonts, Widgets, etc.

    2. the only other option is to root your device that belongs entirely to the user & one I wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you are doing and accept the fact that it is very easy to brick your device.
    You'll also voiding the warranty (dependent on country) Although some manufacturers are pretty lax on this and can do a RMA number.

    This is pretty much your only options in its current version.
