How To Fix Greyed Out Status Bar Option In Notepad

I was having one of those "pc" moments this week that was driving me nuts until I stumbled into the solution so I thought I'd post the fix in case anybody else is living the hell I just did.

I use notepad a lot to write myself notes and such and for some reason the status bar option which gives you the line count was greyed out and I could not enable it.

Took me a couple of days to realize that at some point I had enabled word wrap under the format menu option. Simply disable that, remove the check mark, and your good to go again.
