PowerPad is a lightweight text editor for Windows 2000/XP/Vista. It is currently in version 1.0.4 and available for download at http://www.quickmediasolutions.com/software/powerpad/powerpad.php Overview PowerPad started as a simple application using only the Win32 API and over time, many features have been added. Although many key features have been implemented, there are still many features remaining. Features Although PowerPad is still in development, quite a few features have been completed, including: * Toolbar * Find text * Semi-automatic updates * Replace text * Auto-indent * Line numbering * Recent file list * Basic printing support * Multi-level undo / redo * Full Unicode support with auto-detection * Text-to-speech support And more features are expected to be added in the near future: * Python scripting support History PowerPad 1.0.1, the first public release, came out on February 22, 2009. Exactly one month later, the next release, PowerPad 1.0.2 came out. One of the major changes introduced with this release included line number support. PowerPad 1.0.3 introduced printing support, although options to customize margins and font style were absent. PowerPad 1.0.4.0 was released on May 31, 2009 and featured Unicode and text-to-speech support. Issues The latest release, version 1.0.3, had reported problems running on Windows 2000. It was recommended that users of this operating system continue using version 1.0.2, which is available from http://www.quickmediasolutions.com/software/powerpad/PowerPad_1_0_2_0.exe This issue was quickly corrected and Windows 2000 users are encouraged to use version 1.0.3. Also, the 1.0.3.2 beta version had some repainting issues when line numbers were enabled. Version 1.0.4 (current as of May 31, 2009), supports text-to-speech only if version 5.1 or newer of Microsoft's Speech Runtime is installed.
