Notepad is a fast and simple text editor that can be used to view, edit, and search through plain text documents instantly.
Starting with Notepad version 11.2510.6.0 and higher to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels, Microsoft is expanding lightweight formatting in Notepad with support for tables. You can now easily insert tables in your document to help structure your notes.
