    Why is notepad not ending the words properly at end of line??

    Hi,
    Someone posted a very good link about a shdocvw.dll error so I decided to copy and paste it into notepad. When I printed it I noticed the lines printed oddly, i.e. some words were separated at the end of the line and went into a short line.
    What is this? In the Edit area I have a checkmark at "wordwrap", which I believe stops it from making a never-ending line.
    Another thing, it looked fine in Notepad - it was just the printing that came out odd.
    Is there a way to make Notepad print better, or is this how it is?
    Thanks much.
    Sincerely, Nancee

    Could it have something to do with word wrap?

    In the text you copied are already hard returns. Unwrap the lines and make one long line of each paragraph. Then wrap again and print.

    Nancee, when I want a nice print job I copy and paste into Word then print.
    Edit: Oooops sorry people, I meant Wordpad.

    Hi Nancee, It's formating as stated above and if you need something quick and dirty, use right click, and open with WordPad.

    You can see most (not all) incorrect formatting just fine and have more print choices as you would in MS Word as DVOM said. This is just in case someone doesn't have Word or wants something that will open quickly.
