Notepad is a program in the Windows operating system designed to create text files with the ".txt" extension that do not have clear formatting (for example, setting the paragraph, indentation, page size, etc.). Notepad text files can be created in several ways.

Instructions
Step 1
To create a text file through Notepad, you must first open the program itself. To do this, open the Start menu. In it, hover the mouse cursor over the line "All programs" and in the menu that appears, select the line "Standard". In the list of standard programs, click on the "Notepad" line once with the left mouse button.
Step 2
After starting the program, a Notepad window will appear in front of you with an empty text file, which you can immediately change as you need it (type the text you need or copy it from other text files).
Step 3
If you need to create an empty file with the extension ".txt", then in the Notepad window, click the "File" button located in the upper left corner of the screen. In the menu that appears, select the "Save" line. A window for saving a file will open in front of you, in which you must specify the location directory, file name and its format. After specifying all the data you need about the file, click the "Save" button.
Step 4
There is another way to create a Notepad file. To implement it, open the directory you need, in which the future text file should be located. Then right-click on any empty space in the selected folder once. In the action selection menu that appears, hover the cursor over the "Create" line. In the drop-down list of file types, select the line "Text document". After that, a text file with the extension ".txt" will appear in the folder of your choice, which you can immediately rename. To change this file, simply double-click on it with the left mouse button.
