Does TextEdit have this ability? How do you access it? Also, how are you proposing that this be integrated into Mori, specifically?

TextEdit has this ability. To access the Zoom % you need to select "Wrap to Page" from the "Format" menu of TextEdit. It is in the lower right corner next to the window resize gadget.

As far as integrating this into Mori, either next to or to the far right of Mori's Forward/Back gadget or in a similar location as TextEdit, lower right corner next to the window resize gadget.

"I'm still fairly new with Mori (though I used Hogbay for quite some time), and one thing I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see is the addition of a "view" button in the menu bar that would allow me to resize my documents for easier reading. This could work in the same way that Word or Safari does, allowing me to resize type size on the fly.

The thing is, I'm on an iMac G4 17-inch machine, which uses as its native resolution 1440 by 900. That means that most documents show me screen sizes that are too tiny for comfortable reading. In Word I almost routinely make the view at 150 percent. In Safari, I routinely bump up the text size of web pages.

I realize I can enlarge the type size of documents -- shifting something from 12 pt to 14 or 16 pt. But that's the same thing. Please -- pretty please, even -- add this as another menu bar feature. It would make all the difference to middle-aged eyes and really, to anyone with fine screen resolution.
