        I think you want
        Settings > Preferences > Margins/Border/Edge > Veritcal Edge Settings

          I set the white space to 80 but what I am after is to do a CR at the 80th column not just a marker. I will look here however and maybe find what I am after.
          Thank you

            Notepad++ does not automatically insert newlines (CRLF) at the boundary as you type. However, after you are done typing (either your whole document or a specific section thereof), you can use Edit > Line Operations > Split Lines, which as the docs say will split (add newlines) at the rightmost vertical edge boundary. (You can limit what text the Split applies to by selecting text before running Split Lines.)
