Open OE and set the font and page size the way you want them. Then hold 
down the "shift" key while closing OE. This should retain the page size. 
I'm not sure about the font size but at least it will help with part of 
your issue. I don't know about the = issue . Someone else may be able to 
address that.

I hope this helps. Please let us know of any progress.
