NOTEPAD No Longer Displays Status Bar.

[Guest]

IT guy got a hold of my workstation. He turned auto-update on and everything
including the unimportant kitchen sink is now updated. He also put some
restrictions to where I can no longer turn off auto-update (and the firewall
switch) or run SCHEDULED TASKS. I have administrative privledges to this
workstation.

But the biggest of all is no longer can I turn on the Status Bar in Notepad.
What caused this and how do I resore?

See if this helps.

In Notepad, click on Format in the toolbar at the top of the
window.
In the menu that drops down, click on Word Wrap to remove the
check mark next to it.
You should now be able to go to View and click on Status Bar to
have it displayed.

If this doesn't work, it's time to get in touch with the IT
guy.

Good luck

Open Notepad.
Click Format and UNCheck Word Wrap.
Click View and then click Status Bar.

Status Bar is unavailable (grayed out) in the View menu unless Word Wrap is
unchecked.

Go To is unavailable in the Edit menu if Word Wrap is turned off.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
