Lightbulb One-Line Notepad Paragraphs...


it used to bug me reading a 1 line paragraph, and to scroll and scroll to the right; till i made a simple little discovery. felt like sharing it here, with those who may not know about it...

actually, this occurs when the WordWrap setting has not been checked. to set it, select 'Format' in Notepad's main menu and click on 'Word Wrap'. The paragraphs will be formatted to fit the width of the window ! made life a li'l easier for me

One more thing which I'll want to add is that when u enable Word Wrap feature, the Status Bar will be disabled and the option will also be grayed out in View menu.

But there is a work around for it

Just open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad

And in right-side pane, change the value of DWORD value StatusBar to 1

Talking

ok then here is one more very basic tip for notepad, which will have "those of you 'who know' " hollering 'old old old' and pulling their hair in frustration...

Open a blank Notepad file

Write .LOG as the first line of the file, press enter.
Save the file and close it.
When u open it next (and every time), Notepad appends the current date and time to the end of the file and places the cursor on the line after.
