Notespad: one of my favorite tools

Sometimes it is easy to take for granted the tools we use on a daily basis. I wanted to share with you one tool that I have been using for years. The company website no longer exists, it isn't supported anymore and it is hard to find. But for me... it is one of my favorite tools.

Notespad is a fantastic little text editor that is fast to load. I use it for numerous things including my newsletter. You can see from the screenshot below how you can have different tabs. These tabs with the documents will load automatically every time you start it up.

Just taking a look at this screen shot you will see I have a template created for my weekly newsletter. Through the week if I find something interesting or have an idea to write about something, I just dump it into this template, and save. I also have a template for a follow-up series I did with my autoresponder, and a template that I use when publishing articles to article directories.

I also use this program to print out my thoughts before posting to forums. It has a spell checker you can download and install to work with it. That's great. My fingers have a hard time keeping up, and when I am typing at full speed. I can create a number of typos. Much better to catch these now rather then after you have pushed the submit button on a forum.

I also use this program to format posts for my blog. One handy tip, if you are formatting articles that have been hard wrapped to 65 characters, is that you can highlight them in this editor and push Ctrl+J to un-format them.

You can read more about it and download this program from this site and you can find a list of dictionaries for it here.
