Hello again (double spaces; it this only happening with me?), I hope I'm not wrong in this. I think I finally found out how to avoid that double spacing in postings. I know the last posting (notepads) has those ugly double spaces. I'm sending this just to see if the font, "Arial Unicode MS" is better. I'm choosing that only because when copying from your postings onto MSWord, that is the resulting font. So it seems logical that the reply should be in the same font. Here's good luck to this repeat posting :-)
Clint, the problem with Notepad+'s compatibility mode is that there is no line for Windows XP ... it only lists Win 95, 98, ME, NT, and 2000. If you know where to go from there, let me know. I've seen others too: 1st Page, ConText, DocPad, ShalomTxt, Win32pad, Xpad ... <http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/webpublish/fwtext.html> ... the list goes on and on and they're all good. I've had the Metapad exe file for a long time (in the flash drive storage box) and using Notepad+ for years - habit, habit, habit. Metapad looks good (considering that it seems Notepad+ is not for Win98); just tell me how to install it in XP What's interesting with Windows XP is that the Notepad exe file is found in two places: Windows and System32. And in neither directory can they be deleted or name changed (why is it found in two places?). In Win98, it was only found in the Windows directory. The way I made Notepad+ the default editor In Win98 was as follows: 1. Create a Temp folder in C:\ 2. COPY the original Notepad from Windows to that temp folder 3. Change the name of Notepad (in the temp folder) to NotepadOld. 4. Then overwrite the one in Windows with Notepad+ 5. Then put NotepadOld back into Windows (should you ever want to use the original one) 6. Then make appropriate shortcuts in Start menu. 7. Then I'd go to the Notepad+ shortcut, to Properties, and put an N in the "Shortcut key" box. 8. Voila ... Notepad+ opens with Ctrl+Alt+N Does anyone know how to achieve this in Win XP? ...
