How do I set wordpad's default font and font size? The default
font size now is 10 which is too small. Everytime I open wordpad,
I have to manually increase the font size to 12. How do I set the
default font and font size? I couldn't find anything in the
preferences. Thanks.

Open a new document, set the default font and size, and save the file as
"wordpad.wri". Close wordpad. Right click on the saved file and select
Properties. On the general tab check read-only, apply your changes and
click OK.

Whenever you want to launch wordpad, do so by double clicking the saved
wordpad.wri.
