My understanding is that when a program is installed, there should be a section asking at what resolution I want to run the program, but there was no such section when I installed Word. I want to use the highest resolution so that I can see the print preview as clearly as possible. While I am on the subject, how can I make the backround blue when I am in the shell? Is there a standard way, or does it depend on the VGA card? I couldn't find how to do it in the VGA software manual. Thanks. tk _________
