SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you create a new letter with Bob Letter Writer and change the printer
setup or default printer for that letter (and you don't exit Letter
Writer), the program reverts to your original printer settings for any
additional letters.
 
STATUS
======
 
This behavior is by design. Bob Letter Writer changes printer settings as
you create them, but defaults to the original settings every time a new
letter is created.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
This behavior can be beneficial if you usually use a certain paper or
printer configuration.
 
For example, if you set your default printer to print in portrait on 8.5-by-
11.5-inch paper, you probably don't want to lose that setting if you format
a single letter to print in landscape mode.
 
In Letter Writer, that one letter would print in landscape, then all new
letters would revert to the portrait setting automatically.
 
Printer settings are controlled by Windows. For more information about
changing the default settings of your printer, see your printer
documentation and your Windows printed documentation or online Help.
