SteveH - thanks for the suggestion. The utility you suggest will remove formatting like bold and underline (which, of course, TextPad already does), but not the smart quotes etc (which is what I really want to remove).

I often paste text from MS Office applications and I then have to tidy up all the "smart" quotes (single and double), ellipsis, dashes etc etc in order to turn the text into pure ASCII.

Hi Since writing this, I found the answer. It seems to be caused by TP 5 loading into a different folder to TP 4. In Windows Explorer: Tools > Folder Options...

Double-click opens them fine, so the association itself seems to be working.

Any ideas?
