Default Highlighting in notepad

Thanks Roy. That is just what I needed.

In my old windows 2000 version of notepad, when highlighting a large amount
of data in notepad, I could just move my mouse below the window and it would
continue to scroll down and highlight. Now in xp I have to continually move
my mouse to get the highlighting to continue scrolling down. Is there a
setting I can change to make this work the way it used to?

Also, is there a way to start highlighting, and then have it jump to the
bottom of the file (highlighting everything in-between?



Sorry don't have any idea on your problem, but I can answer your other
question. You can highlight multiple items with the keyboard in the
manney you describe by clicking where you want the highlight to begin,
then hold down the shift key then press the "end" key.
