FILL BLOCK Option Not Available Ver 7

Post by MADHATTER »

The FILL BLOCK option is grayed out (both when I click on the EDIT button and when I Highlight and then click right button) and unavailable. Yes I am in Block Select Mode and have highlighted blank cells. This was one feature that appeared very useful to me. I had this same prob when I evaluated 6.3.1, never got it resolved and uninstalled Textpad. Heard there was a new version, so I down loaded version 7 today and same old stuff.

AFAIR you need to use a fixed-width font to enable fill block.
And you have to select a block.
And file must not be read only.

Then it works in 7.0.9.

Try renaming your ConfigState.xml file. In Windows 7 it is located in
C:\Users\UserName\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\7
Exit from TextPad before renaming the file.
