Font question
How can I get a monospaced font that has an exact width of 1/8th of an inch
(and therefore will fit 48 characters on a six-inch line)? It will line up perfectly with the horizontal ruler. This would be a huge help for my study guide. |

Font question
Courier or Lucinda Sans Typewriter at 14.5 will fit 48 characters into a 6
inch line. Monospaced fonts don't look great, and you cannot guarantee 48 characters as the wrap around will take long words on to the next line. Why not just justify text? -- Rae Drysdale "BigDaddyCool" wrote: How can I get a monospaced font that has an exact width of 1/8th of an inch (and therefore will fit 48 characters on a six-inch line)?

Font question
Courier doesn't fit 48 characters on a line, it fits 49 characters on a line!
Arrrgh! So close! See, the thing is if I have an even 1/4th inch long character font, I can easily format my margins without holding down the Alt key and having to try really hard to make sure the characters all line up perfectly when I use the Left Indent thing on the ruler. Big pain that is. "Rae Drysdale" wrote: Courier or Lucinda Sans Typewriter at 14.5 will fit 48 characters into a 6 inch line.

The default spacing of the margins and tab settings are user configurable
the former by the grid (drawing menu) the latter in the tab dialog. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org BigDaddyCool wrote: Courier doesn't fit 48 characters on a line, it fits 49 characters on a line!
