Notepad2's toolbar offered not only basic controls like Open, Browse, and Save but also useful text tools such as Word Wrap and Zoom In and Out.īetter still are the two built-in Scheme tools, Select Scheme and Customize Schemes. The document opened inside Notepad2 and worked like any text file. We opened a new text document from Explorer. Notepad2's installer asked us if we wanted to replace Notepad as the default text editor in Windows, though it says you can uninstall Notepad2 from the Control Panel to restore Notepad as the default text editor. We tried it in 64-bit Windows Home Premium SP1. It's available in separate downloads for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. Notepad2 offers many more features than Notepad and can replace it as the default text file tool in Windows. But writers, programmers, and others who use text files a lot know that Notepad has its limitations.
