Multiple tap in one document HELP???

Hello,

Since I converted to Win7 and I lost the capability to view multiple tabs in one document. Can someone please show me how to change the setting in Textpad so that will allow me to view multiple tab?

Thank you very much for your time!

Thanks ak47wong. That doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "multiple tabs in one document" please? What do you expect to see?

I want to be able to open just one Textpad document but in that document I can have multiple tabs (just like Chrome, Mozilla tab ect...) where I can switch back and forth.

Prior to Win7 upgrade I can just right click open a Textpad file and it automatically popped in that current Textpad document that I have opened.

Sounds like multiple instances of TP are opening, rather than one instance and the new document is just a new tab in the existing TP session.

I have had that problem consistantly now since either a win7 update or a change in TP has caused a problem like this. Every new instance of TP I load onto new PC running win7 pro now has this problem of opening multiple instances of tp despite any configure preference chosen.

Your description of the problem is a bit unclear (multiple tabs in one document????)

What do you mean when you say "Textpad document"? A single file? Or an instance of the Textpad program?

Maybe you want to uncheck Configure - preferences - General - Allow Multiple Instances to run?

Or do you want to use the splitter for a file? Use the little box at the left / top end of the horizontal / vertical scrollbar to drag the splitter ...

Thanks MudGuard.

I got it now. Just needs to uncheck the "Allow Multiple Instances to run"
