Save
To save your work click on File > Save and if you have not saved
it before a screen will appear.
For now, make sure the Encoding is set to ANSI.
To print File > Print... The three dots after the word
Print means there will be another screen that pops up. This is a
Windows standard.
Select the printer you wish to print to then click the
'Print' button.
Open
To open an existing notepad document click on File > Open...
If you have not saved a document you are working on, Notepad will
ask you if you want to save it or discard it. The Open window
appears (note the word 'open' in the title bar) which allows you to
browse to your existing document.
Note the File name has a *.txt which means when you browse for
your already created document only notepad type documents (those
ending with .txt) will show up in the Open window.
Format
The next options are under the Format heading.
Word Wrap
Normally selecting word wrap is the best thing. What this does is
when enabled, when typing in Notepad comes to the right side of the
page, the words will wrap and start on the next line without having
to hit the Enter key.
Note this does not affect printing. If there is a several line paragraph in which Enter was never hit then the paragraph will take up the entire width of the printed paper's margins.
To turn word wrap ON click on Format then Word Wrap. A checkmark will appear next to Word Wrap.
To turn word wrap OFF click on Format then Word Wrap. The checkmark next to word wrap will disappear, indicating word wrap is off.
