    Hi all.

    I don't use wordpad very much but I have an instance where I do need it. My problem is that I cant figure out how to make the thing double space lines without doing it manually. Thanks for any help.

    As you have discovered Wordpad does not appear to offer the facility to double space lines automatically.

    As Wordpad lies between Notepad and Word in functionality I guess this is not surprising :)

    Ah ha!

    I knew remembering this post and topic would come in handy someday. It has stuck in my head ever since:
    http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=44326&highlight=wordpad

    In Wordpad, Line spacing is CTRL+1 for single line spacing, CTRL+2 for double, and CTRL+5 for time and a half.

    Thanks and credit goes to Bmoore1129 for sharing this bit of information he found... :)

    Try it and let me know if it worked for ya'.

    Well done Ann :)

    From that post ....
    I wonder too - for such a basic requirement.
