Notepad not displaying columns

Question

I have some reports in TXT format that I open on my PC at work using Notepad and they display perfectly with the columns lined up.  But if I send them to my home PC and open them there, that column formatting is gone.  It appears that both PCs have the same version of Notepad.  Are there any settings available that I can update so that the formatting is correct on my home PC?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The only setting that might apply is Word Wrap in the notepad edit menu.

Answer 2

Open the file from within Microsoft Word.  WordPad may work too.

Notepad is a text editor not designed for the use you are trying to make of it.
