Where is the text file located. How to open the text editors Notepad and Word: a few simple ways

Good day and sunny mood to everyone who stopped by. Today I’ll tell you how to open a text editor. This may seem too banal to some. But judging by the popularity of this request in search engines, quite a lot of users have difficulty solving the problem. I won’t gloat, I’ll just give them a helping hand by describing the most available methods launching text editors Notepad and Word.

Notebook

Let's start, perhaps, with Notepad - the simplest text editor included in the standard set software any Windows versions. There are several ways to open the Notepad text editor.

№1

The first method was originally provided by the developers operating system. I'm talking about the green Start button that can be found in the bottom left corner of the screen. After clicking on it, a menu will open with a list of the programs most frequently used by the user and service shortcuts (“My Computer”, “Control Panel” ...).

At the bottom of the list there is a separate item “All programs”; clicking on it will open the list of programs installed on the PC.

Among this set there is an inconspicuous “Standard” item; after opening the contents, “Notepad” will also be found in its depths. To launch the found editor, all that remains is to click on it with the mouse.

№2

Holders of the latest at the moment in the tenth version of Windows, you might notice an empty line among the service elements of the Start menu. She is convenient function"Search".

In earlier editions of the OS there is no line, but there is a “Search” command, supplemented by the image of a magnifying glass.

We just enter the word “notepad” or in the English version notepad (the same thing), wait and see the application we need in the search results. It can be launched easily with two quick clicks of the left mouse button.

Method No. 2, as a rule, is rarely used, but this knowledge will not be superfluous - this way you can search for anything on the computer.

№3

The third option, in my opinion, is the most convenient. That's what I use. The point is not to open the original file on the computer with the txt extension and the name “Notepad”, but to create another such document. On free space any space (desktop or the inside of a folder) you need to click the left mouse button once. The result of these actions will be the appearance of a small menu. At the bottom of it there is a “Create” command.

We highlight it by hovering the cursor and select “Text” from the list of documents proposed for creation.

A file will appear with an active name field - this means that you need to give it a name. Name it and press the Enter key. Open received text file IR can also be done with two clicks.

№4

Friends, there is another method, I think, it is used extremely rarely and mainly by system administrators, but I’ll tell you about it - you can open the Notepad text editor through the command line. In “Start” we find the “Run” command or simultaneously press two keys – Win (a floating window is drawn) and the English R (the current language setting does not matter, the method will work in any case, even if Russian is selected).

In the window that opens, write notepad (it is important to write the English name) and click OK. Done, goal achieved - Notepad is open.

Windows has another text editor that is an in-system tool. It is also launched via the command line by writing the edit command in it, identical to its name. I provided this information just for reference.

Word

Open text Word editor can be done using the same methods as described above for Notepad with some edits. Briefly about the same:

1. First, in the “Start” menu, among all programs, we look not for “Standard”, but Microsoft Office, and among the proposed components, select Word.
2. The second one is in search bar you need to enter not “Notepad”, but Word, then find the desired program in the results (usually the top one) and open double click.
3. Using the third method, we do the same thing, but from the options listed for creation, select a Word document.
4. In the fourth method, enter the command winword.exe into the “Run” window (you can enter it briefly in one word without a period and an extension at the end) instead of notepad.

File

Friends, I have covered the topic, but I would also like to separately note how to open a finished file with any text editor. It’s quite simple - just right-click on the given document and select the “Open with” command.

All that remains is to select the required option from the list (if the one you need is not there, then click on the “Select program” item and search there) and the problem will be solved.

This concludes my story. You can supplement it with your own methods, which I have not considered, by describing them in the comments. Goodbye.

Notepad is a simple text editor used to create simple documents. Notepad is most often used to view and edit text (with the extension txt) files, but many users use this application as simple tool to create web pages. Notepad only supports basic formatting, so you can't accidentally save custom formatting in documents that need plain text. This is especially useful when creating html-documents for web pages, as special characters or other formatting may not appear on published web pages and may even cause errors. Notepad files can be saved in the following encodings: Unicode, ANSI, UTF-8, or Big Endian Unicode. These formats provide greater flexibility when working with documents that use various sets signs. By default, documents are saved as standard ANSI text.

About Notepad

About the Notepad program

Text files are created in Notepad.
A text file is a file type that can be
identified by the file name extension TXT.

The default file name is "Untitled".

You can also use Notepad to create and edit web pages while learning the basics HTML language. Although, judging by own experience, such complex work as comprehending the basics of the language HTML is better V WordPad program, and in Notepad it’s easier to do work.

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, specify “All files”
then select the desired file.

Notepad allows you to work with texts in ANSI and Unicode encodings,
and also perform conversion 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 it to friends – “highlighted”
the text you liked, “copied” it with the right mouse, “pasted”
first in Notepad, and then “pasted” - either into email
to a friend, or in a message to social network(“Odnoklassniki”, “My World”
etc.), or “saved” in a folder on your computer. Very convenient!

My observations about the vagaries of the Notepad program

If you will be doing any large printing work, you should consider
that the Notepad program is quite capricious, therefore, in order not to make unnecessary
work - save the document at the beginning of work, i.e. typed the title 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 watch the cursor to see if it is in the place where you need to type.

How to undo your last action in Notepad

How to undo your last action in Notepad

If you cut something out, deleted it, etc. and immediately, without taking any action
any actions in Notepad, you 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 contextual
"Cancel" menu.

It must be said that the “Undo” command in Notepad (unlike WordPad) -
only undoes the actual last action. If, after cancellation,
press the “Cancel” button again - the program will return the previously canceled
action. Whereas WordPad - cancels latest actions in sequential order.

To make it clearer, let’s take the number sequence – 1,2,3,4,5.
WordPad will undo 5 first, then 4, then 3, etc. A Notepad, with each
to the “Cancel” command – it will first cancel 5, and then return 5 and cancel 5 again.

Let me remind you once again that the same actions in Notepad
with “selected” text: “cut”, “delete”, “copy”,
“cancel”, etc. – can be done without going to “Edit”.
Click on the right mouse button and select from context menu
what they wanted to do with the text (word).

Two reasons power users love Notepad

Despite the simplicity of Notepad, this editor is often used experienced users, for example, when working with a modem. This is due to the fact that in Notepad you can create, or open and edit files with the following (extensions, formats):

• .txt
• .bat
• .ini
• .sys,
• .wri,
• .dat.

Another reason why confident users like to use Notepad is that the file created and saved in this program will be “clean”. In other words, such a file will not be loaded with additional code, unlike a file passed through the MS Word text editor.

Many beginners face this problem when creating their first website. They prepare articles for the site in the Word editor, and then copy them directly to their site, along with a bunch of unnecessary things, additional code from Word. Therefore, it is better to insert articles onto the site from Notepad, then there will be no unnecessary code.

How to open Windows Accessories

In the operating systems Windows XP, 7, 8 there are standard programs; in Windows 8 they are called “ standard applications" They are built into the Windows operating system just like pockets are sewn into a dress, that is, they are always there, you just need to find them, open them and use them!

How to find standard programs for Windows is described in detail in this article using Notepad as an example.

In Windows 7, the standard programs are:

• graphic editor Paint for creating and editing drawings,
• text editor Word Pad for text files with complex formatting,
• Notepad for text files with simple formatting,
• Run to open a program, folder, document, or website
• Notes for creating short notes,
• Sound Recorder to record sound on your PC,
• for calculations as on a hand calculator,
• to take screenshots,
• Command line for executing keyboard commands
• Math Input Panel,
• Explorer – displays files and folders on the PC,
• Utilities folder
• etc.

Note 1

Since $1985, the set of standard programs of the Windows operating system has included a simple text editor Notebook(NotePad), which has minimal tools for entering and editing texts, but sometimes the minimality of these tools is its advantage.

To run the program you need to run the commands Start - All Programs - Accessories - Notepad. The composition of the program window is minimal: a work area and a small menu bar.

Figure 1. Notepad window

The program's capabilities are quite limited. You can enter text in upper and lower case letters, set automatic transition to new line when the right border of the window is reached ( Edit - Word Wrap), set the indent from the left edge (key Tab), also using tabulation to format the text in the form of a table, search the text (Search - Find). Notepad only supports insert mode (the character you enter expands the previously entered characters). Files created in Notepad have the extension .txt.

Menu item File

Menu item File contains several subparagraphs:

• Create– using this function creates new file program, and, basically, the last created file remains open.
• Open– allows you to open files with the extension .txt, opens other text files with a changed encoding (various characters are displayed instead of the content).
• Save– used to save a file for the first time or changes made into the already created one.
• Save as...– used to change the document saving folder.
• Page Options...– Allows you to customize paper size, orientation, page margins, and header and footer. Contains a document page view window.
• Seal…– contains standard settings printing the document.
• Exit– closing the program.

Menu item Format

• Word wrapping– turns on the mode of placing text within the program window frames that goes beyond these frames.
• Font…– allows you to select the font type from the proposed ones, its style and size. It is also possible to use additional fonts that are downloaded to your computer. It is necessary to take into account that when changing the font, all the text in the document will change, because Certain parts of text in Notepad are not formatted.

Figure 5.

Menu item View

Contains only one sub-item that allows you to enable or disable the status bar in the document.

Figure 6.

Program Notebook supports the possibility in various ways(via a menu or a key combination, i.e. “hot keys”) to execute the same command is an element of a flexible interface, and the ability to receive a tooltip is an element of a user-friendly interface.

Other program features

By using Notepad You can also create and edit web pages using HTML.

By default, Notepad creates, opens, and saves documents with the extension .txt, but you can use it to open files with the extensions .ini, .inf, .log. To open files of other types, use the command File – Open – File type field – All files – desired file.

Notepad allows you to work with texts in ANSI and Unicode encodings, as well as convert from one format to another. To do this, when saving the document, you need to select the required encoding in the appropriate field.

Note 2

A special feature of the program is also that if you change the font of one document before closing, then the next time the Notepad program will use the last font that was used in it.

Alternatives to Notepad

An alternative to Notepad is the MS-DOS text editor (edit.com), which can be called from command line with the "edit" command. Among the many free more functional programs, which can replace standard program Notepad, text editors Bred, AkelPad, PSPad, Notepad++.
