Re: Reformat macro?

John

Thanks for looking at this. I used the split/join combination - it's too 
tedious fro me.

It works well for me to copy the text into TextPad, do the reformat, then 
paste back into CODE. In TextPad, it's select the lines and a Ctrl-Shift-J. 
If there's a blank line both before and after, it's just Shift-Ctrl-J. In 
fact, it advances to the blank line following, then to the next paragraph 
it I repeat the keyboard shortcut. Very fast, very neat.

I regret my feeling that CODE and probably the RSE LPEX editor will 
continue to show their early roots and not have some of these very nice 
features that more recent things have.

Cheers

Vern
