Pete,

Thanks for the reply.
Changing the fonts is actually my current solution. 
But the result is just not "pretty" enough.
I want to retain the font I use for the Win 95 version of my program.
Is there absolutely no way to tell the edit control to display
the text centered vertically in Win 3.1?

If memory serves, I believe the problem is that the edit box has internal
borders in Win 3.1.  I don't remember where they are defined, but it is
similar to the window border sizes, etc.  There may be a way to fix it there.

Under Win95, the font scales automatically to fit the area you give it.  

I screwed with this problem for quite a while and found that the font change
was the only way under 3.1.

My actual solution involved creating the scaled font at runtime and parsing
the binary resource to resizing/move the controls and set the new font.  It
was a generic solution for a product that had 400+ dialogs.  If you would
like to hear more about this possible solution, let me know.

Sorry
Pete

Get the DC of your edit contol and use DrawText(). By trial and error you can 
slide the Rect up to fit in the bottom pat of your font.
