Saving text file in ASCII mode for the first time

Hi All,

I am sorry this problem is probably easy to fix but I wasn't able to
solve it after reading help and performing some experimentation.  The
problem has to do with saving a file in text mode for the first time,
I ended up losing all spacing information.  I felt that this must be
related to the "keep all spaces" option under document properties, but
even if that's checked, when I save the file, the problem persists.
Is there something that I am missing?

Version: 5.5 running on WinXP.

Many thanks!

Regards,
- Sam

Hi Sam,

Try this:
Go to Preferences > Defaults
If "Trim Spaces (EOLN)" and "Trim Empty Lines (EOF)" are checked, remove the ASCII filter in the "Mode filter" for each one.

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Nicolas Vaughan

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you very much for your reply.  It looks I have the setting
right, but it still doesn't quite exactly do what I thought it would
do (the problem has to do with losing all line-spacing information).
It's ok, just a minor annoyance .... I am more than happy otherwise.
Thank you very much for replying.
