PAR5E Tutorial

It sounds like you are having keyboard issues?

To remove line breaks in Notepad++:
1. Click the option to display control characters. You should see CRLF highlighted in black at the end of each line of text.
2. Ctrl-F to open the search box. Click on the find and replace tab.
3. Choose the search using regular expressions option.
3. Enter ^\r\n into the search field. Make sure the replace field is empty.
4. Find and replace all. This will replace all line breaks with nothing.

so that did work. watchin xorns vid in his when it removes the lines breaks it makes it a paragraph but all for line 1...
mine makes that paragraph one long line that extends to the riht off screen...
is there a function or button to make it not aline?
its one reason I use word over notepad

I figured out the word wrap under view..
now I got the hot key to work just have to have the word rap bit on
is there a way to make words n sentences like" tha n ks fo r all the hel p?

thanks for all the assistance

Xorn's method uses a background program called AutoHotKey. I posted scripts that do all of that functionality elsewhere in these forums. An easier way is to just do as above, but replace each line break individually. Skip over the ones that you want to keep.

I used that AutoHotKey program and made a list of errors and their fixes. For example, I fixed every occurrence of "o f" with "of". But this only fixes the words that you tell it to fix. This problem is very difficult to deal with perfectly.

you do not want to use Word. Word will introduce new formatting characters.
Use Notepad++ and turn on Word Wrap.

As has been noted above use Autohotkey and you'll find things so much easier. See post #12 above where Xorn lists all the macros; just copy paste those into the Autohotkey script and you're good to go.

I'll also recomend jEdit also, mainly because its portable on a flash drive (along with PCGen).

So is Notepad++. It's either a different version or when you install it asks you if you want it portable or not. (Don't remember which last time I installed it.)
