Uniform CRLF

Newbee question. I've opened a file with a CRLF at the end of each row of text. However, since the text is not uniform, the CRLF end in various column's. I want the CRLF to end at the same column in each row. What's the best way to make this happen?

Assuming you want to pad the end of each row with spaces and that you know the length of the longest line (say 80)
save a line of 80 spaces on the clipboard
substitute
^\(.*\)$
with
\1\p
With the "Regular expression" box checked
substitute
^\(.\{80\}\).*$
with
\1
Ensure that under Configure/Preferences/"Document Classes"/Default/"Strip trailing spacess..." is not checked
