Print Preview doesn't work

Post by chatt »

I've increased the font size, but the Print Preview result hasn't changed.

I'm using v. 4.7.2, 32 bit edition.

Thanks,
Peter

Sorry, I should have said that I've increased the size of the text.

I've just upgraded to 5.1 but still the File -> Print Preview shows the wrong thing (I changed the font to Times New Roman 48 and the normal screen shows really large print, but the print preview shows over 50 lines of text).

I've used TextPad intensively in the past and suspect that I'm doing something wrong. But how wrong can File -> Print Preview be to show what would be printed? Still, that's TextPad for you.

Hope you can help,
Peter

Did you change the font-size for the correct document class?

Did you change the font-size for Screen _and_ for Printer?

Yes, that's what i had to do, thanks Mudguard!

I think the Font pane would be more user friendly if the radio buttons for Scope were placed above the actual font settings -- indicating they are more important.
