Jonathan,
I will need to look at this again as it did not work for me. Maybe I am not understanding the issue. I set the encoding to Western (DOS Latin 1) in TextEdit preferences, Open and Save.

In TextEdit the text I enter displaud properly. If I look at the document with Windows Notepad all the text is on one line.

Hello,

I had to do just a little bit of work to test this out…

1. In the save dialog choose the  encodings menu.
2. Choose the last item to customize available encodings.
3. Make sure "Western (DOS Latin 1)” is checked
4. Close the customize encodings dialog.
5. Select "Western (DOS Latin 1)” from the encoding menu. It will probably 
already be selected.
6. Now save your document.

HTH,

Jonathan Cohn

   When reading a plain text document in Windows that was created with TextEdit 
on the Mac, the line returns are not respected. Isn't there a setting in 
TextEdit that will correct this? Thanks.
