Selecting Page Size for Advanced Preview in FontID.CTL

When you change the page size in WordStar 5-7 (.pl), you should also change the page size in FontID.CTL if you want to Preview the text with the proper page size.  The macro at the end opens FontID.CTL in a non-document window and moves the cursor to this section of the file.

;** PAGE SIZE ** (MUST MATCH YOUR PRINTER PAGE SIZE)
;
;   PAGE=<HSIZE>X<VSIZE>
;
;   WHERE :
;
;     HSIZE = HORIZONTAL SIZE  (IN INCHES). USE PERIOD OR COMMA FOR DECIMAL.
;     VSIZE = VERTICAL SIZE
;
; EXAMPLES:
;
;PAGE=8.25X11.6825   ; EUROPEAN A4
;PAGE=8.5X11         ; US LETTER
;PAGE=8.5X14         ; US LEGAL
;
;   DEFAULT : PAGE=8.5X11  (FOR US LETTER)
;
;   TYPE YOUR SELECTION BELOW:
;
PAGE=8.5X11
;PAGE=8.5X14
;

To change the page size delete the semi-colon in front of the page size you want and put one front of the size currently active, then save and exit.
