You might also want to look on the Document tab, turn off the first four
checkboxes, the other two on.

.-- Word Wrapped text -----------.
| (o) Save with no breaks in     |
|    lines                       |
| ( ) Save with hard breaks      |
|                                |
| [ ] Break at column position   |
|     [70 ]                      |

And as usual, here's a registry script to make it nice and easy.

--- START BELOW ---
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 3\Options]
"StripSpaces"=dword:00000001
"ClearUndo"=dword:00000001
"HardBreak"=dword:00000000
"UseBreakCol"=dword:00000000
"BreakCol"=dword:00000046
"WordWrap"=dword:00000000
"TabSize"=dword:00000004
"IndentSize"=dword:00000004
"TabsToSpaces"=dword:00000001
"SaveTabsAsSpaces"=dword:00000001
^^^ STOP ABOVE ^^^

(These instructions apply to TextPad 3)

Hope this helps,
