  1. How can I get Notepad to show white margins on the top and sides?


    I recently got a Windows 10 computer that I've been customizing to visually resemble my previously-owned Windows Vista & 7 computers. I'm making great progress towards finalizing my customization, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock.

    I want Notepad to show those little white margins at the top & sides of the program window, like it used to do on Windows Vista & Windows 7. See here:

    •No margin

    •With margin

    The problem is, I've tried numerous searches on Google about dealing with this issue, only to hardly get any results! Surely, there must be something that can be done to get those margins back--a registry tweak, a third-party program, anything at all!

    Can anyone please help me out in some way? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! *Smile

    Notepad has always been like this - you can only set margins at print time.

    That only adjusts margins on the printed page, it has no effect of the text as displayed in Notepad.

    @cbiweb, are you sure it was any different before? I've just run up Notepad on an XP machine and it looks the same as your screenshot. Changing the font (Format>Font) has a marginal effect. Courier gives slightly more whitespace top and left.

    Hi Jim,

    Notepad is a simple text editor wherein you can easily and quickly saved your notes. Office programs such us Microsoft Word does contain the margin feature, as well as WordPad. You may want to use these two if you want to take advantage and maximize the
    margin feature.

    Let us know if you have further concerns.
