To adjust character count in new document and make it stick, how do you do it? I tried moving the right side of the new document window, but I'd have to make a new adjustment for each different font style and size.

Fwd: OT - How do you get a TextEdit file with half inch margins?
Open a new document in TextEdit. Look at the left end of the tab bar. Though it looks like one single symbol, there really are more than one superimposed there. One is the right pointing triangle for a tab. Another, the one you want to set margins, looks like a capital T. Use your mouse pointer to grab the top bar of the T and drag it right along the line to the half inch mark. Then let go. For me that sets half inch margins for the document, as long as you put a carriage return at the end of each line. If you don't put a carriage return at the end of the line, then the next line goes back to the left margin of the page. How do you get a TextEdit file with half inch margins?
