Using Wordpad with VB Saved Text Files -

I have a program in which I save TXT files using Write (VB 3.0). I then have users connect to Wordpad to avoid a lot of printer issues via a selection in my program which auto opens the file.

My problem is twofold. Wordpad doesn't save page attributes for formatting such as margins or orientation.

Second, I need to insert a Page Break character in my file with the Write command at certain points. How do I do this, and how will wordpad handle them?

Any ideas. Many thanks....
