Dear all, When I enter block mode (Ctrl-Q, B), the word "block" on the status bar changes from plain text to bold text. Under some lighting conditions (such as at my place) this difference can hardly be seen. So I would like to see this changed: from plain black to plain red, for example. ...

Dear Ben,

This is a most illuminating example. Thank you very much!

Dear all, I feel a little bit uncomfortable with the "sorting in character code order" option. Can anyone offer me an example from which I can grasp the difference between the option being on and off ? [By the way: if I hit the HELP button on the menu bar, nothing happens; hitting F1 does....

Dear Textpad, I am trying very hard to get a copy of my license code. The normal way is blocked to me, as your database seems to have lost my e-mail address (which hasn't changed since I became a licensee in 1996). I tried the feedback form on your support site, but got no indication that my form di...

Dear Helios,

Thank you. Yes, this helps.

Dear all,

I am fond of tiling buffers. In 5.2.0, I don't succeed in "untiling"; I used to maximize one of the buffers I am looking at, but I can't do it now. Is there someone out there who can help me?

Dear all,

Whenever I change startup folders, I have to close and reopen Textpad for the changes to take effect. Is there a way of changing startup folders with immediate effect?

Dear Helios,

When I select the "Macro" option on the menubar in version 5.0.2, the first option on the popup option list always says "Stop recording", even when no recording takes place.

Dear Helios,

The installer said all was well; but when I tried to activate any of these dictionairies, I got the message that the files were not available and should be downloaded. Wha...

Dear Textpad users,

Where are the "Tile horizontally" and "Tile vertically" options in TP5? They should be on the Window menu according to the online help, but they aren't. There are buttons on the Window toolbar, but these are dead buttons. Any ideas?

Dear SteveH,

Are you sure this will work when there are two or more semicolons in one line? :(

Dear all, this looks a bit like my problem, which I did not succeed in putting through to this forum. (How do you put a message on the forum?) In some of my newly keyed n files (default file format: PC), the line ending is LF/LF, instead of CR/LF. I never spotted it before Textpad 4.7.2, although I ...
