Power of the Notepad
Monday, 25 May 2009
Most lay users do not know that the Notepad found under START>> PROGRAM>> ACCESSORY is a very useful tool. Webmasters and Software developers often use then Note pad to write their codes.
The Note pad is very useful even for lay users. I call the Notepad as the “text laundering machine”. When you copy chunks of texts from a website or word document you often inherit all the other embdedded codes. To remove these codes, you just need to paste the copied texts into the Notepad. Once you have copied them into the Notepad, you would have cleaned up all the embedded codes.
You can now copy the texts from the Noteopad and paste them into another document, website or blog. This way you do not have to worry about the messy embedded codes which affect the look of the document.
If you have a chunk of messy excel data you can also pass it through a Notepad to clean up the embeded formulas or codes.
