Thanks for your reply. I will give your solution a try as a Macro learning experience. Maybe I’ll find other uses for it.
But, I just came up with a different solution:
I like Notepad++ so far, so I used the preferences to set Notepad++ as the default for a small number of file types I use occasionally. I renamed the extension of the file I use as my daily journal/log from .txt to my initials .th. I used the file properties to open that file with Windows Notepad.It’s working well for me. I can use my journal/log with Windows Notepad, and everything else uses Notepad++.
