Default Character limit

Hi Suzanne,

When Cindy wrote "a proportional font (such as Courier New)," she meant to
say "a monospaced font." Times New Roman, Arial, and most other fonts you
use in Word are proportional; that is, the letters are of variable width as
needed (an m is wider than an i, for example). A monospaced font is like the
type on most typewriters; every character is the same width.

Yeah, I meant to write non-proportional. My apologies to everyone reading this
thread for mixing that up!
