Notepad++ is a free generic source code editor (and Notepad replacement), which supports several programming languages, running under the MS Windows environment.   The version 4.1 is available. In this release not only the interface of Find in files dialog is improved distinctly, but find, replace and find in files dialogs are now 3 in 1.  The version 1.73 of Scintilla include the CMake lexer. And just by chance, I worked a lot with CMake recently at work, so I updated Scintilla from v1.71 to v1.73, and supports the language of CMake. CMakeLists.txt is also available for the source code of Notepad++ (in "src" directory). It's tested only with the generation of VC project file, but not with the generation of MinGW makefile.  3 new plugins are added in this release : SpellChecker, NppExec and QuickText. SpellChecker help you to corect the tipos in your document. You should have aspell instaled to make it work. With NppExec plugin you can execute your commands or saved scripts without leaving Notepad++. It makes you triple your productivity! QuickText is a snippet manager. Once you define all your snippet in you beloved language, type the macro keyword then Ctrl+Enter - I can hear you say "wow".  Another new feature is the clickable URL (http only). It's rather a gadget, but I like it.  v4.1 fixed bugs and added features (from v4.0.2) :  1.\

Most people are content to let their word processor determine hyphenation and  text breaks for them. And, most of the time, the result is acceptable if they do. However, just as the default justification can be improved if you want to take the time, so can the text flow. OpenOffice.org has the tools you need, but improving the text flow is as much about knowing the conventions of text flow (what you might think of as the typographical grammar) as the settings themselves.

(InfoWorld) - Microsoft's Word and Office programs have been targeted again, with the company warning that hackers may already exploiting a new vulnerability found in the applications. The warning comes just afterÂ the company issued fixesÂ for 20 other bugs in its products on Tuesday, including six for Word. The latest problem affects Office 2000 and Office XP, Microsoft said in a security advisory on Wednesday. An attacker could create a specially-crafted Word document that, if opened, could allow them to control a victim's computer remotely. As usual it advised great caution when opening unsolicited attachments. Microsoft said it had received reports of "very limited, targeted" attacks. Danish security vendor SecuniaÂ ranked the problem as "extremely critical." The emergence of a security bug so soon after Microsoft's scheduled patch release follows a familiar pattern by hackers, who want to maximize the amount of time they have to take advantage of a vulnerability, said Thomas Kristensen, Secunia's chief technical officer. Microsoft rarely diverts from its patch schedule, set for the second Tuesday of the month, although it said it would in this case if it considers it necessary. Office applications such as Word are "low-hanging fruit" for hackers, since the programs haven't been audited as much as some others, such as Internet Explorer, Kristensen said. The hackers find a vulnerability by manipulating a document and testing how Word reads it. In this case, a modified document can corrupt system memory in a way that allows the attacker to execute code on the machine remotely. As well as sending the document via email, the hacker could embed it in a Web page and try to lure users into visiting that page. "Attacking using this vector is fairly easy," Kristensen said. However, new security features in Windows Vista, released to the general public last month, may prevent similar types of attack, so hackers may be making an extra effort to exploit them while they can, he said.
