Argh! This is easy! Pull your file into word, use <chtl>-a to select all the document. Change the font size to 18 point. Set it to BOLDFACE. Now, save it as an .rtf file.

You'll love it. You'll have a choice of small, sharp, wide-stroke text, a good mid-size and a large size that can be read in very dim light.

This keeps the file's images and italics. When first using each font size on the 505 (small, medium, large), there's a long pause while it calculates the formatting of the entire file. From then on, that size is fast.

It's very hard to beat 18 point bold rtf.

When I do this, it seems to create a lot of lines with just a couple words. Is there a way to fix this?

Otherwise it would be the best format I've tried.

I tried that, but found I still liked the default rtf style better. Most Rtf's look fine to me loaded up raw and zoomed up twice (which only makes it around 16 point font).
