Notepad - Anyone know what the Status bar does?

It shows line numbers, but you can only use it when you don't have word wrap turned on (is this obvious to anyone else?)
 
I hate word-wrap when I'm using anything. I have a 1600x1200 resolution, so there aren't many times when I need it... It just makes things look messy when things do wrap.
 
Real men don't need word wrap.

omg , thats twice in 2 days that you've cracked me up with a quote divil :p

i must get this skirt changed now, it's cutting me in half;)

and yes i only use notepad for html stuff so it's much better with wordwrap on for that ( i'm not hard enough to attampt html with wordwrap turned off:p )
 
Why would you want to use word-wrap for HTML?! That would be so unbelievably messy. I'd probably go insane.

Get a real text editor for HTML. :p There are hundreds of them out there. Notepad just doen't cut it for me. Especially since it can't properly interpret many encodings (particularly unicode, as well as files saved under other OS's). If you have ever tried opening an HTML file or PHP file saved under Linux, it will all be one line due to the incorrect parsing of the Linux newline characters.
 
Better yet, write your own. You'll thank yourself later for it and if you are a beginner you will learn allot more than you may think.
