I know they were selectable > in Word 5, but only if you'd chosen graphics mode instead of text. 80x30 today usually ist VGA 60x480 graphics. But one can set up text mode to work with that resolution. 80x43 is/was EGA (remember that one?) high density text mode. 640x344 pixel and the CGA 8x8 character matrix, wasting 6 lines. EGA used an 640x350 monitor, standard was 80x25 with 8x14 charcter matrix. -- Neil Franklin, nei...@franklin.ch.remove http://neil.franklin.ch/ Hacker, Unix Guru, El Eng HTL/BSc, Sysadmin, Archer, Roleplayer - Intellectual Property is Intellectual Robbery
