About Notepad
About Notepad
Notepad creates text files.
A text file is a type of file that can be
identify by filename extension .txt.
The default filename is "Unnamed".
You can also create and edit web pages with Notepad while learning the basics of HTML. Although, judging by my own experience, such complex work as comprehending the basics of the HTML language is better in WordPad, and it is easier to do work in Notepad.
By default, Notepad creates, opens and saves documents with the TXT extension, but you can also open files with the INI, INF, LOG extensions.
To run files of any other type, run the command:
"File" → "Open" → in the file type field, select "All files",
then select desired file.
Notepad allows you to work with texts in ANSI and Unicode encodings,
and also convert from one format to another. To do this, when saving the document, select the desired encoding in the appropriate field.
Suppose you found something interesting on the Internet (news, story,
poems, etc.) - read it yourself and want to send to friends - "highlighted"
the text you liked, “copied” it with the right mouse, “pasted”
first into Notepad, and then already “inserted” - either into an email
friend, or in a message on a social network ("Odnoklassniki", "My World"
etc.), or “saved” in a folder on your computer. Very comfortably!

My Observations on the Vagaries of the Notepad Program
If you will be doing some large print work, then you should consider
that the Notepad program is rather capricious, therefore, in order not to do unnecessary
work - save the document at the beginning of work, i.e. printed the name of the document -
click "File" → "Save as ..." and in the already saved document, typed a short text → click "Save", typed a little more and again → "Save".
And always keep an eye on the cursor - whether it is in the place where you need to type.
How to copy, cut, delete in Notepad
How to "Cut", "Delete",
"Copy", "Paste" in Notepad
"Edit":
"Cut", "Delete", "Copy", "Paste" - already "selected" text.
"Undoes" the last action done in Notepad.
Searches and replaces characters and words in the text.
Inserts the time and date into a text document.
Before removing, cut,
copy, paste - the text must be selected.
How to highlight text in Notepad
How to highlight text in Notepad
"Highlight text" (words)
can be done in two ways:
1.
Put the cursor at the beginning (end) of the text (word) and pressed,
left mouse button, drag the text (word) to the right,
if you put the cursor at the beginning.
And to the left, if you put the cursor at the end of the text (word).
Selected text turns blue.
2.
Place the cursor at the beginning (end) of the text (word), press
and hold the Shift key with one hand while pressing the other
text navigation key, right (→) or left (←).
With text (word) already selected - you can "Cut", "Delete",
"Copy", "Paste". To do this, click "Edit" and do what
what you intended: cut, delete, copy, etc.
In order to remove the "selection" - just click the left mouse
on the white field of "Notepad" or in "Edit" and select "Cancel".
To execute the "Paste" command, you must first copy
(or cut if you don't need the text at that point) selected text
in one place and then put the cursor in the place where you want to paste
text, and then either Edit and choose Paste, or click
right mouse button and select Paste.
If you need to select all the text printed in the document, then press
"Edit", select "Select All" and then click "Edit" again,
choose what you were going to do with this text - cut, copy
or delete.
How to undo the last action in Notepad
How to undo the last action in Notepad
If you cut something, deleted it, etc. and immediately, without taking
any actions in Notepad, change your mind, then click "Edit"
and select Cancel.
The "Undo" command can also be executed with the right mouse button -
just right-click and select from context
Undo menu.
I must say that the "Undo" command in Notepad (unlike WordPad) -
undoes only the really last action. If you, after canceling,
press the "Cancel" button again - the program will return the previously canceled
action. Whereas WordPad - undoes the last action in sequential order.
To make it clearer, let's take a numerical sequence - 1,2,3,4,5.
WordPad will undo first 5, then 4, then 3, and so on. A Notepad, with each
command "Cancel" - first cancels 5, and then returns 5 and again cancels 5.
~~~~~~~
Let me remind you again that the same actions in Notepad
with "highlighted" text: "cut", "delete", "copy",
"cancel", etc. - can be done without going to "Edit".
Press the right mouse button and select from the context menu
what they wanted to do with the text (word).

The excellent windows operating system has provided everything for the user's work. It has everything you need. Let's take a closer look at one of the built-in programs, with a minor, but very interesting and useful, called "Text Notepad". It would seem, why such a seemingly useless program? A “text notepad” on a computer is just what you need to write down your thoughts or small abstracts and stories, and a notepad can also be used to copy links or change the code of various programs. It is simply indispensable for writing down, for example, a phone number or a note, especially when there is no pen or paper at hand, and the matter is urgent.
Definition
What is "Text Notepad"? Notepad, or Notepad (its official name) is the most common text editor that is included in the package of windows operating systems (from the very first windows 1.0 and NT to windows 8). In earlier operating systems, it was possible to write (work) in this program only up to 64 kilobytes, and therefore more advanced programs were constantly developed, whose capabilities were less limited. Now these restrictions have been removed, and this editor has become more convenient and practical to use. Also in this program, you can comprehend the code of the HTML language, which allows you to create sites for the Internet and much more. 
Functional
What does the program consist of? What can she do? The menu bar includes five main items: "File", "Edit", "Format", "View", "Help". Each item performs its function.
- The "File" item includes several subsections:
- "New" (CTRL+Z) - this function opens a completely new empty file. This function is very important, especially if the previous file is corrupted or you want to start working in the editor again.

- "Print" (CTRL + P) - when you click this button, a window will open in which various options will be indicated - the number of copies, the page range. After clicking "Print", the document will be printed on the printer.
- "Exit" - closes the program. It is also carried out using a cross in the upper right corner. Do not worry about accidentally pressing the "Exit" button, after writing a huge amount of information, the program will automatically ask whether to save this file if it was not done before.
2. "Edit" contains the following:
- "Undo" (CTRL+Z) - this function cancels the last action and returns the document to the state before the action was taken.
- "Cut" (CTRL+X) – the item cuts a fragment of text, placing it on the clipboard.
- "Copy" (CTRL + C) - and this item copies the selected part of the text, which is also placed on the clipboard.
- "Paste" (CTRL+V) – the function is designed to place a text fragment from the clipboard to the part where the cursor is located.
- "Delete" (Del) - deletes the selected part of the text. If you want to return the fragment, just click "Cancel", provided that no other actions were performed in the editor, in addition to deleting the text.
- "Find" (CTRL+F) - using this function, you can find the required place in the text by a phrase or word, as well as select the search direction (from the cursor to the top or bottom of the text). By pressing the "Find" button, the searched text will be highlighted.
- "Replace" (CTRL + H) - this function replaces the words that are searched for in the text. When clicked, a window opens. Having entered the desired word in the “What:” paragraph, in the “What:” paragraph, we write which word to replace.

3. "Format" includes only two functions:
- "Word wrap" - this operation allows you to wrap words from lines automatically, the length of the line becomes a limited visible part of the screen. This feature is made for convenience - now you do not need to constantly scroll the worksheet horizontally, trying to read the text.
- "Font" - by selecting this sub-item, you can set the font size, style and appearance. If you are not satisfied with the proposed fonts, then you can select the "Show additional fonts" section and find a new, more interesting and attractive one. By pressing the "OK" button, the font will be changed to the one you have chosen.
4. "View" includes only one function - "Status Bar".
5. The "Help" menu will show you the version of the editor and also answer frequently asked questions. 
Where to find and how to open
How to open "Text Notepad"? In fact, there is nothing complicated about this, but there are two options. Which one is easier - decide for yourself, the taste and color, as they say, the markers are different. This task is not difficult, and even those who are just starting to get acquainted with the computer and have not yet comprehended all the basics in this matter can cope with it.
Option 1
For the first option, you need to know where the "Text Notepad" is located. Click the "Start" button, which is located in the lower left corner, then select "All Programs", after which a list of different folders and frequently used computer programs will expand. In this list, you need to find the "Standard" folder. It is in it that Notepad is located - a text editor. 
Option 2
Is there some more easier way completely different from the first one. To get started, right-click on an empty spot on the desktop, after which a small menu will open, select the "Create" item from the list, and another small list will open, select the "Text Document" line in it and give a name to the new document. Everything, you can work in notepad. Now you are probably asking: “How can I open this file with a text notepad?” Yes, it's easier than ever! Just right-click on it and in the list that appears, find the line "Open with Notepad (or Notepad)".
Note
The main difference between the first option and the second one is that in the first case we first write down all the necessary information, and then we create a file and save it there, and in the second case, on the contrary, an empty document is first created, which is then replenished with our records. 
Analogues
Notepad++ - very interesting program, but its true purpose is to work with HTML code. Unlike the classic windows editor, Notepad++ can deal with several files at once, and at the same time. It has no conflict with the file encoding, and in case of any error, highlights it in red.
NFOPad
NFOPad is another great program. It independently determines Internet links and addresses email, which the standard “Text Notepad” built into the operating system cannot do. Also this program supports NFO format. 
AkelPad
At first glance, this editor is no different from the standard one, but it is not, it has the function of previewing the file being opened. And the most important advantage of this program is that in the absence of the necessary function, you can simply write it yourself and insert it into the editor, which, of course, the usual “Text Notepad” cannot do. This function is very useful for those who are familiar with the basics of programming.

With the help of the Open and Save items, you can load files for reading and modification, respectively, and save them. If you want to save the file under a different name after editing, select Save As. The Page Layout and Print items available there are useful if you have a printer and want to print something from this program.
The following is the most useful menu for a text editor - Edit. The first point is the most important conquest of the information industry - Cancel. That is, if you inadvertently erase all the contents or do something else unnecessary, immediately use the undo of the last action (Ctrl + Z). Following Undo are menu items for working with the clipboard: Cut (Ctrl+X), Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V). They may be unavailable if there is no text selected in the editor (for Copy and Cut) or there is no text in the clipboard (for Paste). Item Delete (Del) allows you to delete the selected text.
Using the Select All item, you select all the text in the editor, and Date/Time (F5) inserts the current date and time in the format set in the system. Further, in the View menu there is a very important item Wrap by words. When checked, lines that do not fit entirely in the editor window are automatically wrapped. Otherwise, they will go to the right, out of view, and you will have to use the horizontal scroll bar to correct it or just read it. Finally, the Font item opens a standard font selection dialog, with which you can change the font that will be used to display text in Notepad. In this window, you select the typeface, style, and size of the font. All changes are promptly displayed in the Sample window. It is also useful to indicate the set of characters used - Cyrillic, otherwise you risk seeing abracadabra instead of Russian letters.
Then come the search items - Find, Find Next (F3), Replace and Go To. If you haven't searched since opening the program, selecting Find or Find Next will open the search window. In it, in the Sample line, enter what you are looking for, and then click on the Find Next button. If the Case-sensitive option is enabled, lowercase and uppercase letters will be distinguished during the search. For example, if you write "Moscow" and search with the case recognition option enabled, the program will be able to find the word "Moscow" in the text, but not "MOSCOW". If the option is disabled, then both options will be found. Finally, Direction determines whether text should be searched up or down from the current cursor (caret) position.
Another great feature of Notepad is the ability to not only search for text, but also to replace it. To do this, from the Edit menu, select Replace (Ctrl + H). At the same time, if you had a selected text fragment at the time you called the replacement window, it will immediately be entered in the search bar (What). After determining what to look for, it remains to enter in the replacement string (What) what you want to replace what you are looking for, and click one of the Find Next, Replace or Replace All buttons. The first one finds the closest match (the search goes from left to right, top to bottom), the second allows you to replace the found one, and the third one replaces the text in the entire document at once.
Entering and editing text
Text input is made from the keyboard, and the character is entered from the place where the cursor is located. To enter an uppercase character, use Shift, switching between Russian and English is carried out in accordance with Windows settings(usually by Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift). To start a paragraph or a new line, press Enter, to align text in columns (for example, if you enter tabular data), it is preferable to use not spaces, but tabs. If you make a mistake when entering, then the last character is deleted by pressing Backspace (the button is located on the right in the main block of keys, a left arrow is drawn on it), and to delete the character following the cursor, use Delete. You can also edit text with the mouse. Double-clicking selects the word, pressing the left mouse button and moving the pointer also selects the text. Then, on the selected text (it is highlighted by inversion, as shown in Error: cross-reference source not found), you can perform manipulations such as copying or cutting to the clipboard, deleting or replacing with text from the clipboard. If at the moment of pasting from the buffer there is a selected text in the program, then it will be deleted, and the contents of the clipboard will fall into its place.

Moving through the text in almost all editors is carried out by the same keys or their combinations - they are listed in Table 11.1.
| Key or combination | Action to take |
|---|---|
| Left Arrow | Moves the cursor one character |
| Right Arrow | Moves the cursor one character to the right |
| Up arrow | Moves the cursor up one line |
| Arrow to down | Moves the cursor one line down |
| Ctrl+Left Arrow | Moves the cursor one word to the left |
| Ctrl+Right Arrow | Moves the cursor one word to the right |
| Home | Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line |
| End | Moves the cursor to the end of the line |
| ctrl+home | Moves the cursor to the beginning of the document |
| ctrl+end | Moves the cursor to the end of the document |
| Page Up | Moves the cursor up one screen |
| Page Down | Moves the cursor one screen down |
To start selection from the keyboard, press the Shift key and, while holding it down, select the desired text using the same keys that are used to move the cursor.
If the document is large enough, then the best way to move around is to search: call the search dialog through the menu, enter the word, symbol or phrase you are looking for and click Find next. The found match will be highlighted, and the document will be scrolled accordingly to the desired location. If the found fragment is repeated, then to find the next one, just press F3.
Printing Documents
To print a document from Notepad, just use the Print item from the File menu. By default (with standard settings in the Russian version of Windows XP), when printing, the header is not displayed, and the word "Page" is printed as the footer. If this does not suit you, or you want to change the page orientation from portrait to landscape or change the width of the margins, then use the Page settings item, which displays the window of the same name (Fig. 11.3).
NOTE
In fact, a header with the file name should be displayed on top, and its number should be printed below after the owl “Page”. This does not happen for the reason that the symbols used to determine the parameters have been translated into Russian, while the program itself does not accept commands from Cyrillic characters.

In it, you can specify the size of the sheet, its location, as well as the width of the margins. All this will be schematically displayed in the sample field. In addition, if the printer has multiple paper feed trays, you can select the one you need from the Feed list.
As for headers and footers, you can either disable them altogether by removing everything from the header and footer fields, or replace their content. So, you can write your own text and enter symbols for automatic substitution, which will be replaced with the desired values when printed. All of them are shown in Table 11.2.
If you want to display the character "&" itself, then you should repeat it: "&&".
