NoteTab - Replacement for Notepad!

[jadison]

I personally tried NoteTab created by Fookes Software the other day and after seeing many of its features I'm not going back to Notepad for my basic text editing/html editing ever. It's won numerous awards so I know I'm not the only one who enjoys using it. Here is a little overview of the program straight from the creator's site:

"NoteTab Light is the ultimate free Notepad replacement and a capable HTML editor. A slimmer version of the award-winning NoteTab Pro, this slick application makes text editing a breeze. Move quickly around a stack of large files with a simple tabbed interface. Format your text to your heart's content. Write with the font of your choice, fixed-width or proportional.

If you need to cut and paste chunks from a pile of files, forget the Clipboard: you can set up a Paste Board file to save text clips automatically. Strip HTML tags from your files. Call up complete document statistics instantly. Use powerful, system-wide search and replace tools.

Speed up your work with text macros: you can use them as shortcuts, or even to auto-replace those persistent typos. Handy sample macro libraries are supplied, and you can easily build your own. Make the most of NoteTab's many options to suit your own workstyle."

You can download the free Light version HERE or you can go HERE to download the other versions of the app.

Once you download and install this program you can set it as your default text editor by doing the following:

-- Go to any .txt file you have and right-click it
-- Choose "Open with" then click on "Choose program"
-- A box should pop up displaying a list of programs you can open this file with, click on "Browse"
-- Go to the location where NoteTab is installed, and select the .exe file (Usually the location will be x:\Program Files\NoteTab where "x" is the drive letter), then click "Open"
-- Next, click on the checkbox that says: "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and then click OK

Now you can use NoteTab as your default text editor instead of MSFT's Notepad! :)

I hope you enjoy this app as much as I have.
