NotepadNotepad is Windows built in text editor. We will show below a bit of information about it and how and why to use it. I use Notepad all the time to copy things quickly and store them briefly on my computer desktop. I compose email in notepad before I go online and just paste it into my web mail programs like Yahoo, Gmail and AT&T mail. It is a small useful but not very complicated program. See below for a few of thing that Notepad will do! |

This is what two of my Notepad text files look like on my desktop they have the .txt file extension. They are updates.txt and apathy.txt. You can create files extentions of many sorts using Notepad not just .txt. (.m3u .htm .uni .bat ect ect)
Notepad is a programmers tool and its lack of formatting make it safe to view and edit program information if you know what you are doing. Below is a text file from Spybot about a scan for spyware that did not work

In the case below Notepad is showing the html code for a web page. This allows you to
edit the web page safely without extra formatting from word processors like MS Word.
Below this is a web page with some information I want to copy
If I select the text I want as shown I can copy and then paste it into Notepad.
With that text above selected and copied, I will paste it into Notepad.
If you look above you will see that Notepad has made the text unformatted and so it stretches out in a long line and only spaces are show to separate the long lines of sentences
It is a good practice to insert the cursor every so often and press enter to force a shorter and more readable sentence structure. see below...
Well that is a short introduction to Notepad.
