Files Look?

Question

Hello.

I own a yahoo group for for stories and I write them in a notepad file with and Arial font with the size set at ten and upload them. My paragraphs only measure about four to six inches across but when I open the file in the group it looks as if it has been enlarged and strechted across the screen I was wondering if anyone could explain this or offer advice about how to get it to look same in the group as it does when it is on my desk top.

Answer 1

it does that when you open and read them off the group, I don't really know why it does that however if they were to auto send out monthly, they would appear that way. if you were to click edit, it also would not appear that way.

Answer 2

The first time I uploaded a notepad file, this happened to me using the same font and size as you did.

When you first open a new notepad on your computer, before entering text, click on "Format" and select "Word Wrap" then select your font/size. Then enter your text as you normally would. Save it when finished.

Now go to your group, click on Files. Click on "Create Text File".  Then upload your file and save it.  When you open the file, it should appear as it should and not stretched across the screen where you have to scroll to the right to read all the text.

(One time I thought I had selected "notepad" but actually had selected "wordpad" in error.   That also made my finished file a big mess).
