Multiple document classes

[sgb]

I have lots of *.txt files and depending upon what they are used for, I want to apply a different document class to them.

Some are word wrapped at 72, or at 80 or are long lines.
Some are tabbed, some are spaced at 4 or at 8.

Is there a way of opening a txt file and then telling textpad to use "so-and-so" document class for it?

If not, can I do wacky things with macros to change the configuration of the txt class "now"?

Thanks

I see I asked the same question 18 months ago with no successful resolution.

In which case I will restate the question as "Is it possible to write a macro that loads up and is readily launchable that will edit the document class preferences currently in effect". If so how does one do it?

How about this approach?

Make classes and syntax files for *.tx1, tx2, tx3, etc.

open the *.txt file, use File/Rename to *.tx# to use tx# syntax.
When done, save as *.txt
