Rearranging columns of text

[mwenz]

Hi PC,

NotePad++ is an open-source text editor that is way beyond the simple one provided with Windows.

So here are a few screen shots.

You would copy and paste the text into NP++, then choose the Column Mode... menu selection from the Edit menu.



You will then see the following dialog pop up:



Which tells you to place the cursor where you want the column to begin, then hold the alt key and drag down with your mouse and you will see the result like this:



Then you can cut and or copy the highlighted text, paste it into another NP++ document, your working files, etc.

Take care, Mike
