On many machines (but not all) running Windows 7 or 8 the AStyle > Format Current File command has no effect. This is due to permissions problems when the program tries to write temporary files under Program Files (x86). I recommend a change to write temporary files in a true temp folder.

Workaround: It's possible to fix permissions on the C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\AStyle folder to make formatting work. One way which sometimes works: Copy the AStyle folder to your desktop, delete the original, then move the copy back to where it was.
