Hi everyone, I am creating a standard form for offices in three different cities using Microsoft Excel, hopefully Version 3.0 (when everyone upgrades). There are a number of different printers used: Epson dot matrix, IBM 4019E, H-P Desjet 500, H-P LaserJet IIP. These are basically stock machines with very few extra fonts installed. I wanted to pick a font that seemed appropriate for the document that would look somewhat similar on all of the different printers used, and the Roman fonts seemed to fit the bill (haven't tried w/ Epson yet). Here is the problem: There does not seem to be an appropriate screen font (I'm a little new at this, so bear with me!) to display my work on the screen when i use Roman fonts. In Excel 2.1d, the font display is very fuzzy and ridiculously slow. In Excel 3.0, the screen font is HUGE -- only about 3 cells across can be displayed -- not exactly convenient for editing. I'm sure there must be a relatively simple way to solve this, but how? Will it cost much money, if any? My general manager is just getting turned on to my idea, but he is as yet reluctant to spend money (everybody's problem, right?). At least for my own personal use in the interim, are there shareware options? Thank you, thank you, thank you, Andrew Taylor Bloomington, IN

I would advise Bob, or anyone else who develops a sudden passion for newsgroup cleanliness, to conduct those operations in MAIL rather than in more worldwide noise postings. Whatever tenuous connection to Windows the original postings had, handfuls of identically worded auto-scold followups have NO connection whatsoever, and don't belong here. Again, do it in mail. I would have done this in mail, but I want one very public expression of this point to appear.
