In the past with windows XP, I donot recall having any problem with clicking on hyperlinks in TexPad files. Since I got a Windows 7 computer, it does not seem to work. After highlighting a hperlink in a textile (by TextPad), I see "open http:\\xxxxx" when right clicked. I hear a ping sound but it ...

With Windowx XP, I have been placing "text.tws" in Quick Launch bar. I have been doing it for many years without any problem. Now, I got a new Dell Windows 7 computer. I tried to pin "text.tws" to task bar (there is no quick launch in Win7). But when pinned, "text.tws" becomes "text.txt". So far, I ...

I am worried about possible conflicts with hotkeys for other programs.
I only need Find and SaveAs hotkeys for tTextPad.
James

Thank you.
I got it.

BTW, When I clicked on All >List, too many hot keys are set.
I do not need that many hot keys but just a few.

How can I reset (or cancel) hot keys? James

Thank you. F12 worked nicely.
That's great. I should have known that hot key 10 years ago.

BTW, where is the list of hot keys for TextPad. I do not see in Help file.
James

That is a good idea.
But I am not that computer literate.
Could you please give me how to set up a macro for Save As?
I need that hot key badly.
Thank you. James

I use "save as" fucntion a lot.
Is there anyway to create a toolbar for save-as?
Using File>Save As took too much time.

ben_josephs,

I have a question for you. I had a txt file which I use so frquently. As you suggested, I created tws file for the same txt file. When looked at two files, this is what I see

test.txt: 2,548 Byste
test.tws 121 Bytes

How come the file size of tws was shrinked 20-fold?
James

ben_josephs,

Your tip worked great!!!!!
Thanks a lot.

I am currently using v. 5.10. I would like to start with the last opened document instead of a blank txt file. I looked at reference > General but I could not figure out how to do it. Please advise me how. TIA. James

Bob Hansen,
You are absolutely correct. When I carefully position the cursor at the top of the text file, search did the correct job. My problem was that the cursor was somewhere in the text, not at the top of the file.
Thanks again. james

I am home now. In my office, I found that I got to perform repeated search to find the target word. It was not convenient. As Bob Hansen mentioned, the position of the cursor could be potentially the casue of the problem. I will pay attention to the cursor's position. I will follow up what I get ...

This is not a complicated question, but a very s;mple one.
I got to do search twice to find the target words.
james

OK. After reading Gan's post, I repeated the Search. Now, I found that my question was not exactly correct. This is what I found: If I do perform for the first time, it did not find the target word and prompted "cannot find lieteral string: "xxxwordxxx', regardless whether the words are in upper or ...
