ET,
In notepad++ there is a item in the editing menu for changing line endings. It
looks like the Latin / Win encoding used “Unix” style line endings. Windows
expects the line to end with both a carriage return and a new line character.
Which is not terribly

I did some digging and think the reason Notepad fails here is because it
does not support the Western encoding. It does support UTF-8 so I may
experiment with the two apps.
I did install Notepad+

Ah,
I did not test with notepad, just with MS Word. I suggest you use Notepad++ my
office installed a copy of it on my system, and it automatically checks line
endings and display text correctly weather you use PC/Mac?Linux.
There is also a one line regular expression that was once posted to

I will need to look at this again as it did not work for me. Maybe I

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)”
I myself don’t believe that text edit has settings for line breaks.

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.
