Hello all,
Has anyone noticed how when word wrap is enabled, text still flows off the screen. To see this text, you must use a mouse drag action because word wrap mode disables the horizontal scroll bar. I think this is a bug!
Anyhow, got tired of word wrap because of that problem and that it also makes it more difficult to read the HTML.
With word wrap disabled, I thought, it would be great if the font size could be changed (just like any of my other tools). A smaller font would allow me to view more of my code.
Is this possible?
Reduce the Internal Text editor font size. Possible?

I'm pretty sure that the editor font size is the Windows default. Try changing that:
1) In the Control Panel, search for "Colors and Metrics". (There doesn't seem to be a link for it any more.)
2) Open, "Change Window Colors and Metrics"
3) Have a blast.

Thanks for the response. I wouldn't want to globally change my font size. Anyhow, this is not supported by Flare but perhaps in a future version.BedfordWriter wrote:I'm pretty sure that the editor font size is the Windows default. Try changing that:

Re: Reduce the Internal Text editor font size. Possible?
I wish the reply would please be updated.
I'm a half-hour into making simple conditional text changes because the easiest way seems to be copying code from correctly formatted text and applying the same descriptors to my new text - however, trying to select just the tag causes the window to shift violently, and I lose my text (yes, I place the cursor and dra-aa-ag to the end of the required text - if possible).
Chasing code across the screen is irritating, looks ludicrous to colleagues watching me, and turns what I could've done in Word in twenty seconds (inserting new pub numbers onto the cover of an updated doc) into what is rapidly becoming over an hour-long ordeal.
Please, if there's been an advance in the ability to wrap on-screen code while editing, kindly share the process
