Frank, You're right that you do have to go into a dialogue box to start with but you normally can subsequently just use the F3 key to repeat the previous find. I'm pretty sure that this applies to both Notepad and Wordpad and many other programmes also.

I used to die of frustration when I used notepad to read .txt files. Open the dialog close the dialog open the dialog close the dialog. If you import the text file into an Outlook message you can use the only single key non dialog based search left in ms windows the f4 key. Which is why I read everything in outlook.

It was 16-bit Windows versions that had this issue (i.e, Win 3.x, 95, 98 and possibly ME). Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 February 2005 16:14 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Can this be done. Hi John: Just to set the record straight on file size limitations, it was Notepad that had a file size limitation in Windows versions before Xp. Wordpad has never had a similar file size limitation. Fortunately, Microsoft remedied this situation in Windows XP.
