Hello everyone, I have a real problem when I open WordPad. The page format automatically sets to 10 x 15, whereas I want it to default to A4. I can't find a place to set the desired format as default, even though I never had this problem before. Can anyone enlighten me? Thank you -- Vivi

Hello, What version of your WordPad is it?

Indeed, it's disheartening and I can understand! Maybe try a repair of Windows 10 while keeping your documents and other personal files, perhaps. In the search box, type recovery, click on Recovery options, In the next window, select the option that allows you to keep your files, then proceed. If Wordpad still doesn't improve, I'm at my wit's end!!! -- The one who does not please upon arrival, always pleases upon departure! Breizh a tao

Hello, I'm back at it! It’s possible that the 10x15 format is configured at the print level; this format could take precedence in that case. Open Wordpad, go to File, then Print, you will have access to the General tab, select your printer from the list and then click on Preferences. With my Epson, here’s what I see on the display. Once the A4 format is selected, click Apply then OK. Still in Wordpad, under Page Layout, check if the A4 format is properly accounted for in Size. I don't know if this will work, but sometimes a night of reflection brings advice, so I thought I could pass this on for a final attempt!

  This is exactly what I do every time. When I close the file after finishing work, if I open it again, it automatically reverts to the 10 x 15 format. And I have to adjust the page size again! I'm tearing my hair out, I can't find a definitive solution!

  @vivianethyssenDo you save your work once the A4 format is displayed and validated?

  @glg29Of course. I just tried the technique suggested by Miiwx, but nothing works. The file seems to open fine in A4 and immediately reduces to 10 x 15! Grrrrrrr !!!!

  @vivianethyssenDo you think it could be a "bug" in the latest installation of Windows 10?

  @vivianethyssenWe cannot rule it out, indeed, but nothing proves it either!
  Are you experiencing any other issues under Windows 10, aside from the one you are currently aware of?

  @vivianethyssenMaybe. But can you change this function? For example, what happens when you click on "Cassette (Auto Select)"?

  Cassette 1 or Cassette 2, those are the possible choices.

  I just tried changing and putting in cassette 1, I saved the document... but still this damn page size of 10 x 15.

  I think the cat is going to have a great time... Nothing has changed, but I thank you infinitely for your patience and the interest you have shown in my request. I will make do with this damn WordPad as it is or I will switch to another word processor! Thanks again and have a good evening!

  @vivianethyssenIndeed, very stubborn this Wordpad!
  I don’t know what else to suggest, other than switching to a more manageable and efficient word processor, such as the Open Office suite that you can download from this LINK.
  Have a good evening as well.
  Best regards.
