One of the most common ways to store information is text. With the help of special programs, the text is converted into a file. Such a file is called a text file. But when opening such a file, problems may arise. Different formats of the same file can be opened by different programs. Therefore, you need to figure out how to open and read a text file.
Instructions
Step 1
Various programs can read the text file. Using some can only read a specific text file format. Others can open texts in many formats. The simplest file reader is notepad. It is a standard operating system utility and is used to open the "txt" and "ini" formats.
Step 2
Open doc formats with Microsoft Word. This utility has the ability to read many text formats. But there is a nuance here. The 2003 program and earlier will not be able to read the 2007 program document and above. This is due to the fact that by default the latest version of the program saves in the "docx" format. You can fix this by choosing an older format when saving.
Step 3
Use the "fb2 reader" program to read text files with the "fb2" extension. This expansion is not uncommon. This is due to the convenient reading of the file, which is located in the form of a book or scroll. There is also a "djvu" format. Quite often, it is used to create books with scanned pages. Use the "djvu reader" program to read it.
