Sorry I wasn't clear. I just meant I'd like the ability to tell TextPad to always pick the default printer, or always pick the last one used, etc.

I'd like to set a preference as regards which printer is used by TextPad I suppose the following options would be what I'd expect: 1. The Windows default printer 2. The last printer used 3. Prompt for printer 4. A nominated printer At the moment it seems to default to Option 2, the last printer used ...

I wanted to put a newline after each comma within just the first pair of parentheses of the following: INSERT INTO SourceDocumentClauses (SourceClauseId, SourceDocumentId, SourceClauseReference, SourceClauseDescription, SourceClauseText, FunctionalGroupId, AssociatedTwiClause, SortNumber ...

I also have been having problems with "Open With" in TP5. When I try to do Open With on anything, I just get a TextPad window with nothing in it. This is even after manually changing all registry references from TextPad 4 to TextPad 5. This is very annoying as I often use TextPad to peek inside ...

I have voted against this because TextPad is a text editor, not a formatting tool. I suggest that configuring a spreadsheet would be more appropriate in this case.

I too would like TextPad to be able to handle wiki mark-up (including the unicode interwiki links) as I do a large amount of Wikipedia editing.

I'd sometimes find this useful. On occasion when I do need to see how things are aligned, I use the block select mode. How about putting up a poll?

Oooh wow MudGuard! Thanks for that - I never realised "Fill Block" existed. I can see quite a few uses, and I can stop faffing around with Excel formulas. Cheers mate!

I also need to do this all the time, but I've always used a spreadsheet up to now. There's an easy TextPad solution, though: in the search-and-replace facility, put \i(100) for the "Replace With", and your lines will all begin with three-digit numbers (for up to 900 lines, obviously) as they start ...

Yes, the same happens with me.

I did the same as you to a 149 KB XML file. 300 MB of memory got held onto after splitting a single line into multiple lines (but not when doing it the other way round).

I'm using 4.7.3 under W2K.

How can I find the 107th occurrence of a particular string in a file?

Possibly it's not perfect for you, but you can obtain this information by right-clicking the selected text and choosing Properties. It's shown under the document statistics.

Is this what you want?

Curiously, this question has been asked at least three times recently.

Here are two of the others that have been answered:

You can do this as follows: Menu Configure, then Preferences, Document Classes Choose a class (probably Text is what you're after). Select "Word wrap long lines", and "Save with hard breaks" below that. Finally, at the foot of the dialog box, select "Word break at column number", and put 65 into the ...
