"Fill Block" is still grey out (TextPad 5.3.1)

Even if "Word Wrap" is off, "Block Select Mode" is On, and selecting block, "Fill Block" menu is still grey out.
What do I do to enable "Fill Block" menu?
TextPad Version is 5.3.1.

Do you actually have a block selected? If not, fill block is disabled.
Fill block is also disabled if you use a non-proportional font.

Don't you mean it's disabled if you use a proportional font?

The "File block" was disabled even if I selected a propotional font (Arial) for Font for "Default" type and "Text" type on Decument Classes.

MudGuard accidentally got it backward. You must use a NON-proportional (aka fixed width) font to enable Fill Block. Try using Lucida Sans Typewriter or (ugh) Courier New. If you use one of those, and you are able to select a block, and Fill Block still isn't enabled, then ... well, then problem is elsewhere.

Thanks Paleolith!!
After changing to a NON-proportional font, the "Fill Block" was enabled. :)
