That's a very cool trick. It also works as a suffix if the cursor is at the widest point of the raggedy right edge before dragging downward and if you do a quick cleanup afterwards to get rid of the extra spaces: 1. If the top line is the longest line in the area to be selected, put the cursor at the end of that line. Otherwise, press the space-bar at the end of the top line until the cursor is at the point of the end of the longest line. 2. Press Ctrl+Shift and drag the mouse straight downward. 3. Type the suffix. 4. Open the "Search" menu. 5. Choose "Replace..." from the menu. 6. Type this into the "Search for " box: \s+ 7. Type a space into the "Replace with" box. 8. Mark the "Use regular expressions" checkbox. 9. Click the "In Document" button. -- Little Girl There is no spoon. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
