Hi Harry,

I have never used Word Pad.  Are there particular features you like which other word processors don't have?

Thanks,
Dan

This can be very useful but be aware that the amount of information which fits on a screen will vary between programs, between computers, and will change if the zoom level changes. In Word at least, CONTROL+PAGE UP and CONTROL+PAGE DOWN move by one actual page, however, to make it a bit more confusing, if you have done a search or used Word’s Go-To feature, those keys will now move to the previous or next instance of whatever you last searched for."
