This is great news. What version of wordpad do you have? Is it still available? I am running windows xp pro and office 2002 and my wordpad opens a dialog.

The search in Notepad is tedious because you have to use the menus to get there. In Microsoft Word it is used with a shortcut key but you still have to bring up and escape from a dialog for each repeat search. In Wordpad, however, you can use Control-F for the initial search and then use F3 to find the next occurrence of the same search criteria. Not only does it find the next item, but it leaves you on it without bringing up a dialog box. I use Wordpad with text files instead of either Notepad or MS Word for this reason. You can also tell your computer to open text files in Wordpad rather than Notepad, no matter how big they are. You have to assign the .Txt extension to Wordpad. If you need to use Notepad for something specific, you can still manually open the file in that program.
