How can I turn on word wrap in the notes window by default or by a script?
I would like to present help to inexperienced users within an origin project. My idea is to have a button that opens the text help file in a notes window. The only problem is that I couldn't find a way to turn on word wrap by default. And neither 'domenu 33031' nor 'menu -e 33031' affects word wrap in my Origin 6.0 SR4. Any idea how to manage it?

Good question. Not sure it's possible, but the Origin crew can answer that for you. As an alternate method you can just open notepad externally from a script.

run -e Notepad "Filename";

Or you could open the default browser and write your help files in HTML with pictures. This is what I do. Unfortunately in Origin 6.0 you need to be able to identify the path to the browser explicitly like...

run -e "Fullpath+BrowserName" "FullPath+fileName";

Later version of Origin, 6.1 and 7.x, have support to do this automatically with the "win -aw HTMLfilename" command.

Hope this helps.
