I never use Wordpad anymore. I tried once but Notepad is so much well
mannered for ascii wonderings. Maybe I should try Wordpad again and
postpone this post and type some more? Ok.
  Well, after a few weeks went by I tried Wordpad. So I copied and pasted
a picture into Wordpad from Notepad. Wordpad automatically used New TImes
Roman which is bad.
  So I Highlighted the picture and clicked on font. Then I chose Courier
New or New Courier whatever. And it looked fine! I hope this helps. You
probably figured it out long ago but still....I tried. Take care, Jon.
