So...you want to design the next great webpage, eh? You bought your screaming PIII 700, you've hooked up your scanner, you signed up for a web provider that gives you gigabytes of transfer each month and a shopping cart.

Very complicated, no help available, confusing

by prostoalex , Nov 14 '00
Pros: single-tasking, simple user interface, free!
Cons: little help available, almost no support, little information given for novice users
First I got to see the Microsoft Notepad when I had my first computer. At that time the program interface looked too complicated and incomprehensible, and the amount of books and reference materials available on this topic is just so tiny that it is...

Useless. Ugly and useless. (UPDATED)

by aconover , Dec 06 '00
Pros: Does what it's supposed to do. Oh, and a time-date stamp. Woo.
Cons: No customization, line counting, or anything else useful.
Notepad just isn't that great. Sure, you can use it when you have to jot out a little note or whatever, and I suppose it can be used all right to edit HTML or some other non-macro-intensive language. But it definitely has some major disadvantages in the...

A little too basic

by wintermute , Dec 07 '00
Pros: simple, free, don't need to download it
Cons: too basic.
Well, much as I hate to say anything nice about Micro$oft, This is quite a nice little package, for free. The problem with reviewing it is that it does nothing special. There are thousands of text editors out there - EditPad, NoteTab, Ultra Edit, Vim,...

Pros: Super clean interface, can edit all sorts of text-based documents and also html code
Cons: No word wrapping feature
As I sift through Epinions' numerous reviews for word processors and HTML editors, I couldn't help but feel something was missing... Of course! How could you forget the grand-daddy of all word processors, NOTEPAD!!!

Make a Note of It!

by supernova7 , Nov 26 '01
Pros: Very easy to use and learn; it's free!
Cons: For it's purpose, nothing at all!
I have now had my computer for about 1 1/2 years.

During this time, I have learned a little about the internet and a little about even HTML. Thanks to really great web sites such as HTML Goodies, (thanks Joe Burns), I have begun on my...

Microsoft Notepad is a program that comes as standard on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and i'm not sure for other Windows Applications (maybe someone could leave a comment saying whether or not it does and I will add it).

Quick and Dirty (that's a good thing)

by etoile , Nov 21 '00
Pros: loads fast, clean interface, easy to manage
Cons: almost no options or extra features
If you want to make a fancy document, don't use Notepad. If you like emphasizing words with italics or underlining, don't use Notepad. But if you want to make quick, brief notes or have somewhere to reformat copied text before pasting it elsewhere,...

Pros: Small in size, big in convience, easy to use, very simple, great for memos, reminders, etc.
Cons: not too good for important and professional documents.
Post It, those little yellow memo pads with a sticky back, that you can write reminders on, phone numbers, and much more. Notepad is that, except a digital version, there are so many ways to use it! When I first opened it, back in the day when I had...

Noteworthy Windows Tool

by Cornell2000 , Jul 18 '00
Pros: simple, free, present in all versions of Windows, extremely fast
Cons: limited to editing small text files, but that's all it's really designed for anyway
Notepad has been a familiar feature in Windows dating back to the 3.1 version and probably even older versions than that one. The fact that Notepad is so ubiquitous is what makes it one of my favorite software tools. I can always hop on a Windows...
