To set these you need to think slightly outside the box. Mainly because modern fonts are variable in height and width. More than that each letter has a different width. Typing 20 'i's and 20 'm's will demonstrate that. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm You need to therefore choose a monospaced font. Look for "Courier" or "Courier New" on a windows computer. Try the same experiment again and you will see all characters are the same width. Now type the numbers below. You can then set the size of the font to the largest that will allow it all on one page, then adjust the page margins (See "Format - Page" from the menu) using top and bottom margins to get your number of lines. In the paragraph setup (Format - Paragraph) you may need to set the space above and below each paragraph to 0mm, 0cm or 0inches. I would also recommend reading the getting started manual from the support/documentation section of the website. Hope that helps 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
