How can I change the TwipsPerPixel under XP, please?

.. . . by the way, just in case you are wondering why the Windows settings mention dpi (pixels per inch) when you asked about twips per pixel it is just that twips and inches have a defined and fixed relationship to each other, so the same thing can be said in more than one way. There are in fact 1440 twips in one inch, so a machine that has 96 pixels per inch also has 1440/96 twips per pixel (15 twips per pixel). Try the following code as an example. Run it first before you make the switch and then run it again afterwards:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox Me.ScaleX(1, vbInches, vbPixels) & _
" pixels per inch." & vbCrLf & _
Me.ScaleX(1, vbPixels, vbTwips) & _
" twips per pixel."
End Sub
