On Windows 8. 1, type “Notepad" into the Start screen search box.
Whenever you save a file with either Save or Save As, Windows will automatically save the file in . txt format, which will launch it in Notepad. You can choose to save Notepad documents in HTML by choosing Save As and selecting All Files from the list of choices, then saving the file with . htm or . html as its extension. Type your HTML code directly into your document as if you would plain text. In order to properly save a document in HTML, you will need to have Word Wrap enabled. You will find instructions on how to enable this feature a little later.
&l Left-align the characters that follow &c Center the characters that follow &r Right-align the characters that follow &d Print the current date &t Print the current time &f Print the name of the document &p Print the page number Leaving the Header or Footer text box empty will result in no header footer on your printed document. You can insert words into the Header and Footer text box and they will print in their appropriate position. Letters after the “&” sign do not need to be capitalized. In Notepad, your header is centered, regardless of the formatting codes you use, if the formatting code is not the first item in the Header text box. For example, to align a title to the left side of the page, use &lTitle text.
The rest of the menu, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Find, Find Next, Replace, Go To, Select All, and Time/Date, are standard in nearly all Windows programs that deal with word documents. The “Go To” option is only available if Word Wrap is disabled and if your document contains numbered lines. Notepad defaults with Word Wrap turned off.
A change in font affects the entire document. You cannot use one type of font on one part of the document and another type on another part. From the dropdown menu item listed as “Script” in the Font window, you can find characters that are not available in the standard “Western” style fonts.
Note that the “Tab” key will move your cursor ten spaces across your text line, unlike Microsoft Word, which moves five spaces.
If you would like to save your document in a different place, simply browse your preferred folder from the “Save As” window and select it. Notepad will switch to this choice for future documents. Remember that all of your files will be saved with the . txt extension.
To change the paper size, tap or click a size in the Size list. To change the paper source, tap or click a tray name or a feeder in the Source list. To print the file vertically, click Portrait; to print the file horizontally, click Landscape. To change the margins, enter a width in any of the Margins boxes.
You can hold down the Shift key with either of these combinations to scroll through windows in the opposite direction.
