Hello again (double spaces; it this only happening with
me?),
I hope I'm not wrong in this. I think I finally found out
how to avoid that
double spacing in postings. I know the last posting
(notepads) has those ugly
double spaces. I'm sending this just to see if the font,
"Arial Unicode MS" is
better. I'm choosing that only because when copying from
your postings onto
MSWord, that is the resulting font. So it seems logical that
the reply should
be in the same font. Here's good luck to this repeat
posting 
Clint, the problem with Notepad+'s compatibility mode is
that there is no line
for Windows XP ... it only lists Win 95, 98, ME, NT, and
2000. If you know
where to go from there, let me know. I've seen others too:
1st Page, ConText,
DocPad, ShalomTxt, Win32pad, Xpad ...
<http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/webpublish/fwtext.
html> ... the list goes
on and on and they're all good. I've had the Metapad exe
file for a long time
(in the flash drive storage box) and using Notepad+ for
years - habit, habit,
habit. Metapad looks good (considering that it seems
Notepad+ is not for
Win98); just tell me how to install it in XP
What's interesting with Windows XP is that the Notepad exe
file is found in
two places: Windows and System32. And in neither directory
can they be deleted
or name changed (why is it found in two places?). In Win98,
it was only found
in the Windows directory. The way I made Notepad+ the
default editor In Win98
was as follows:
1. Create a Temp folder in C:\
2. COPY the original Notepad from Windows to that temp
folder
3. Change the name of Notepad (in the temp folder) to
NotepadOld.
4. Then overwrite the one in Windows with Notepad+
5. Then put NotepadOld back into Windows (should you
ever want to use the
original one)
6. Then make appropriate shortcuts in Start menu.
7. Then I'd go to the Notepad+ shortcut, to
Properties, and put an N in
the "Shortcut key" box.
8. Voila ... Notepad+ opens with Ctrl+Alt+N
Does anyone know how to achieve this in Win XP? ... Harold
