Is there a way that each time I open a new document that it automatically word wraps. Right now I have to manually click the button to word wrap.

Thanks,
Chris

I was going to post the same question before I found this one.

Any answers?

Thanks,

Yes, you can:

1. Click Configure > Preferences.
2. Click the plus sign (+) next to Document Classes.
3. Click Default.
3. Select Word wrap long lines.

You can repeat this for other document classes as required.

Thanks for the reply.

I just took a look and I already have the box checked and it doesn't work for either typed text or pasted text

Configure/word wrap works as does the icon.

version 5.4.2

I have found that you need to set the preferences when all documents are closed. Then restart TextPad and settings will be retained.

Still didn't work for me, but clicking on the icon is no biggy.

I found nothing as suggested.
Finally I turned on the Standard Tool Bars,
under View => Toolbars, and
clicked WordWrap Icon.

Then, to save the space of the tool bar,
I turned it off.

Hello,

I have this same issue on a new computer, Windows 7 64 bit.

I have tried closing all open instances; clicking the button; selecting the option in Configure; checking 'word-wrap long lines' in the default.

Hello again. Just after posting I thought I would mess around and came up with something that at lest at this time looks like a solution:

Close all open instances
Go To Configure>Preferences>Document Classes>Default
and UNCLICK "Word Break at Column"
Close down>Open up and Click the Button in Configure
Return to Configure>Preferences>Document Classes>Default and CLICK "Word break at ..."

This process from memory which is going fast, so the idea was to undo and redo to sort of give it a nudge; you might have to try that a different way.

PS: I find I am liking Windows 7 64 bit a lot: everything just seems to work. TextPad loaded and with this issue resolved has been installed without a problem. I am also totally blown away by 24GB of RAM and 2.5 Terabytes of Disk Memory. Wow, the world has changed.
