Weird problem with wordpad?????
I posted this message in several Windows and XP groups, but
I cannot solve this problem. I really wish that I could figure it out. Yes, I know that few people use Wordpad. I also use MS Word and Word Perfect, but I still have the habit of using Wordpad for simple tasks, and I have used it for years. I have a very weird problem, that I assume has a simple fix. At times, when I am in a long document which I have amended from week to week, there are certain places within the document that I cannot single space. No matter what I do, I can only get the "next" line to appear "two" lines down, as though the document is a double-spaced document. In other words, I am **forced** to have the document double-spaced. Actually, the spacing "looks" more like 1 1/2 spacing. It is not quite double spacing. I can go to another page, or another point on the same page, and single space with no problems. I assume that I have accidentally put some kind of a "code" in my text, without knowing how I did it, or how to get rid of it. Do any of you have a fix for this ???? I will really, really appreciate it if someone can cure this problem for me !!! Thanks for any help !!! --James-- |

I believe that it does, but that is not the problem. At times, it will do
this on a single page document. --james-- Does wordpad sense and automatically drop a page break into the format? I'm asking because I've not used it for any long documents since dirt. ? |

Notan, I used the same document, and changed the font size first. No help.
Then , I changed the font type. No help. Once the document is created that has the "bug," I cannot get single spacing, no matter what I do. If you try to put the cursor at the beginning of the line where it would become a single-spaced line, it will not go there. It drops down to a point where it makes a 1 1/2 space (not as much spacing as double space). --James-- |

I have a very weird problem, that I assume has a simple fix. At times,
when I am in a long document which I have amended from week to week, there are certain places within the document that I cannot single space. No matter what I do, I can only get the "next" line to appear "two" lines down, as though the document is a double-spaced document. In other words, I am **forced** to have the document double-spaced. OK, this might be a slightly messy answer, but it might sort the problem out if its an embedded font encoding issue... Copy the entire document to the clipboard, and paste it into something that uses plain text, such as Notepad or EditpadLite - copy a small amount of text to ensure it "loses" all the font encoding from the clipboard, then re-copy the entire doc from the plain text editor. Paste this back into a *new* document in Wordpad, and see if you still have the same problem (I suspect this will resolve it though) |
