WordPad and Landscape. Setting Print Defaults

Continuing the thread from above on "Putting a page skip on a txt file",
I've now turned to WordPad to print the txt file. As mentioned above, I
can get the file into WordPad to do the page skip, and format each line
with a fixed font (courier, for one). However, I needed to lengthen each
line, so figured I could use Landscape mode, which does happen to work
for my case. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to retain Landscape
(or possibly the default font) the next time I bring up WP. That means
the end user will need to do those things with each file. Comments?

I tried saving in different formats, doc, rtf, and found that just got
me to Word when I tried the file again. WP Help default is concerned
with the file format.


Here's a sample line about 144 chars long, and wrapped.
2008/11/18 17:40:42 WW 2008/11/19 01:40:42 24 95 3.17

The page layout is determined by the users Printing Preferences on the
users default printer. Set those and you have the page orientation and
size desired.
