For some of our applications, we write large data files that only contain 16-bit data. I would like to be able to view the data in this file with the hex editor as 16-bit data words. I know that I can write a template to display the data in the file, but I would like to be able to do this in the hex editor so that I can do searches, etc. (stuff I can't do in templates). Is there a way to do want I want to do?

> as 16-bit data words

You mean as 16-bit integer values? Sorry, this is not possible.

Yes, 16-bit integer values is what I mean. Are you familiar with Microsoft's Visual Studio? In debug mode, it lets you look at memory as 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit words. I think that having this capability in a file editor like the one in WinHex would be very useful (at least it would be to me!).

OK, I will add it to the list of desirable features (which has 96 other entries already). You will be among the first to know if and when this will be implemented.
