No. Text files don't store fonts, only the simple character content of the file. The font it appears in depends on the read that opens it.

No. This is a printer setting, or a reader setting. Simple text files don't store this information.

>3. Page feeds?


No. Same answer as above.

If you need control over stuff like this, I recommend you look into creating Word files via OLE Automation. The text format simply does not hve provisions for display settings.
