Don't know about a spell checker, but I do use Notepad and WordPad a
lot. I keep records for addresses, music, my daily to-do calendar, and
more in plain text files. Finding an address is easy enough by typing the
first few characters in the file name. If that's not enough info to find
what I want, I can use the Windows Find feature to search for things inside
the files.
I particularly like the Find feature. You can repeat the Find with a
simple F3 keystroke and don't even have to escape from a dialog box. The
first time you enter the search criteria you do, but not on subsequent
finds of the same criteria.
I've not tried to print documents from either program. I don't know if
there's any way of finding out how many pages a document is, let alone
where the page breaks will end up.
If anyone can tell me more about using these programs to do more word
processing chores, that is, beyond keeping the files to use on the computer
alone, I'd appreciate any tips here. I do have MS Word 2003, but Notepad
comes up much faster for things like printing a shopping list or address
for someone to put onto a package for me.
Sorry for the duplicate, Louis; but I forgot to address the reply to the list.
Thanks!

hello folks. Has anyone on this list use Notepad extensively? I ask
because I don't find a need to by Microsoft Office because i mainly
work with text. However, a feature I like with Microsoft Word is the
spellcheck functionality. Is there a spellcheck program that I can
instal for Notepad? Thanks for your help.
Louis
