Melissa........ I agree about wanting my journal entries on HMF to be for my eyes only and you can select to make them private. Since I am on the site more than the average user, I probably depend on HMF more than most users because I am also always testing functionality. My suggestions to use HMF and its features are just that ... suggestions. What is easy and automatic for me, may not work for you. As for the worksheet in Excel, I haven't experimented, but in Lotus, when you are setting the page up for printing, you can tell it to print all of the columns to one page and the program automatically shrinks your font so that it will fit. Sometimes, it shrinks it so small, you need a magnifying glass .. lol. I am also working with an older version of Excel, so I am hesitant to offer suggestions about Excel. I have found Excel tutorials on Google and that may be a way of finding out how to set up your spreadsheet. Smiles, Lyn

I believe this is the solution. Got this mssg from my son not long after my OP. I did not know he was looking into it. It is long. >>Looks like you're using Outlook Express 6, which hasn't been updated in years. Cue standard rant about upgrading.... I looked at the "source code" of the mail, which shows what the actual text of the message is, and I can see that it's using a multi-part format. Part 1 is a plain text version of the email, and Part 2 is the HTML version of the email. That version doesn't have any indication of what font to use, so you changing it on your side wouldn't make any difference. Take a look at this: http://ask-leo.com/why_does_my_email_sometimes_show_up_with_funny_characters_like_0d_in_it.html It seems that your client is using "quoted-printable" which might be causing some of the problems for people using newer email clients. Maybe. I don't see the odd "=" signs sprinkled around, but they might be interfering with the HTML rendering on some clients. When I read your email in gmail via its website, your email looks okay. (The blue background and tiny font is stripped away.) But when I use a local email application (Mac's Mail.App), the blue background is still there, and the font is smaller than my selected default, but not TOO small, which means, I think, that the quoted-printable stuff is correctly interpreted. When I use Sparrow Mail (a desktop app that integrates with gmail), it's tiny. Sparrow is a brand new application, so they've probably not yet felt the need to deal with old-school quoted-printable content.OK back to me in OEX 6...........I went to: Tools > Options > Send > Mail Sending Format > Settings (HTML or Plain, whichever) > Encode text using: (None or Quoted Printable or Base 64) choose None. I had been sending email using HTML with the MIME mssg format setting 'Encode text using: Quoted Printable' . I changed that to None. The Plain Text Mime Format was set by default to: 'Encode text using: None'. I then sent emails to my Inbox account both HTML and Plain Text. The Plain Text-None font came out proper size. The HTML - None font was still tiny. Now why was I using HTML all these years? Well the HTML Compose Pane has a format toolbar. The Plain Text pane does not. Evidently with OEX 6 you can have formatting ability or Plain Text - not both. On my Yahoo account the choice is Rich Text with formatting or Plain without. So it would seem I need to use OEX Plain Text or another email program to eliminate recipients getting tiny font mssgs.

If you can get the attachment open and use copy and paste than open Microsoft Works Word Processor and Paste it their. After you have used paste. Hold down on the CTRL Key and Roll the wheel on your mouse and the print will get large. Even though you can enlarge the print to read the printer will still print small on your paper. I use ScreenHunter 4.0 to capture text or picture. It will all still be graphic. http://www.download.com/3000-2192-10063246.html It's Free. Note pad wouldn't work when I tested it.
