I use my PPC alot for guitar tabs, as I don't have a printer. If you don't have enough space in most word, it looks like this

|------0-----4------5--------
---2--|
|------2-----5------7--------
---4--|
|-----------------------------
------|
------------------------------
------|
------------------------------
------|
------------------------------
------|

which is considerably more than hard to work with. The only remedy I have found sofar has been using a landscape program, than turning the zoom on word down to 75%, but then I can hardly make out the characters >_< 640X480 would most definatly solve that problem, but thats not going to happen on my 2215 :( Anyone have any ideas?

I don't care what you do, sheet music or tab is never going to work on any screen that's just over 2 x 2.5 inches. Even with 8.5 x 11 paper flipping pages is a pain in the ass and you need to be able to sit back with your instument and play it, not be all hunkered over a tiny screen.

well, you don't really read tab like music, and I have a great memory so I only need to look for pointer peices. if there was a proggie that would disable wordwrap it would suit me fine

You can disable wordwrap in Pocket Word, just go to tool > then uncheck word wrap!
