Description

For over three decades, Notepad has served as the quick and straightforward text editor for Windows, and it can now be found in the Microsoft Store! This tool allows users to instantly view, edit, and search through plain text documents and source code files. You can modify text-based files and source code with ease, and personalize your viewing experience with various font options. It supports multiple encoding formats, including UTF-8, UTF-16, and ANSI, and is compatible with Windows 10 version 19541.0 or higher. While Notepad focuses on fundamental text manipulation tasks like searching and replacing text, it was limited in functionality until the advent of Windows ME, lacking keyboard shortcuts and a line-counting feature. After Windows 2000 was released, it introduced shortcuts for commonly used commands such as "New", "Open", and "Save", along with a status bar that displays the line count when word-wrap is turned off. Additionally, Notepad has the capability to print documents, allowing users to customize headers, footers, and margins prior to printing. Various codes can be used to include the date, file name, and other details in the headers and footers, enhancing the utility of this simple yet effective tool. Overall, Notepad remains a reliable choice for users looking for a basic text editing solution with essential features.

Description

WordPad serves as a straightforward text-editing application that allows users to create and modify documents, incorporating text with various fonts and colors, as well as the ability to insert images and links to other files. This versatile tool enables the opening and saving of multiple file formats including text files (.txt), rich text files (.rtf), Word documents (.docx), and OpenDocument text files (.odt). It is important to note that files in unsupported formats will open as plain text and may not display as intended. Certain functionalities, such as headers, footers, and annotations, are not compatible with WordPad, meaning any file containing these elements will lose that content upon saving. To avoid losing original content when modifying such a file, it is advisable to select the "Save as" option and save it under a different filename, thus allowing you to edit a duplicate while preserving the original. For those seeking clarification on the functions of various buttons, simply press and hold a button for a brief description, or hover over it with a mouse for additional guidance. By utilizing these features effectively, users can maximize their experience with WordPad.
