No, you could go with more than 80 columns and user a smaller font…or you could relax your definition of WYSIWIG and only get to see part of the page at any one time. The latter is the approach a lot of software uses (and which I wish the Mac would use; true WYSIWIG can be a real pain in the tush because reading 10 or 12 pt type on a monitor is a good way to get eye strain!) – Mark
