word processing preferences?

I'm just curious about the settings that others use with their word processors. I'm very picky about how I view my page while typing. For example, I always set my window to show the text as "Page Width" as opposed to some percentage of the screen, or "full page," etc. Know what I mean? Then, I move the size of the word processing window until my text becomes "108%" down in the status bar. This is always perfect for my eyes. It's true in both OpenOffice and in Word for me.

Are you guys picky about things like this? --just curious.

Oh man, way too picky. When I was writing the diss, it had to be the web layout at 10pt font w/ single spacing @ 82%. That way I could fit at least 4 pages of text on the screen at any given time. Also, I have the F* keys set for many things (font resizing, indenting, footnotes, etc). The one thing that drives me nuts though is the auto-functioning of OO w/ regard to bullets/numbering...ullage?
