Sleek and basic text editor
While Microsoft Word is the standard word processor for most people, it's a pretty big application, and there are many instances where a basic text editor will do just as well. Notepad .NET is an attractive and simple program for those times.
Most applications like this tend to look quite ugly, so the slick ribbon style interface of Notepad .NET is especially pleasing. The basic functions, across the top of the window are copy/paste, new and save etc, fonts, some basic formatting, search and replace, and then print and appearance. The search and replace feature is useful for quick editing of texts, and the ribbon of features itself is really clear and easy to use.
Notepad .NET also supports tabs, so you can easy work on more than one text concurrently. This is particularly well done, as a right click gives you the option of opening a new tab and also duplicating your current tab - also useful for editing things. Files can be saved as TXT, RTF or HTML files. Word users will probably miss spell checker, as there is none here, though some users might find that liberating!
Notepad .NET is an attractive, functional text editor that makes a nice alternative to Windows WordPad.

The tabs are great, but....
One point the main review missed is that while tabs are the best feature of this program, they don't allow the choice of renaming them. So you're stuck with the names new1, new2, new3... and so on. How users organize a structured set of content when they are stuck with generic naming convention? Imagine having to sift through your document folder when you're staring at bunch of file with names like document235 and document6.All other aspects of the program are just right. The interface is a pleasure to use, it's attractive, light and efficient. But overall I wouldn't use it until the tab issue is addressed. A spell checker that you could turn on and off would also be a real nice addition.
Pros:
Light
Just the right formatting options Cons:
Tabs cannot be renamed
Spell checker missing More

WoW! ^_^.
If it hadn't been for the reviewer, I don't know if I would of looked as closely as I did, and I"m sooo glad I did. I love it, and since I'm having missing Notepad in Vista (yeah, they exist, the icon disappeared off of Accessories folder...still trying to figure out what happened w/o doing a regedit -.-) So this makes me so happy lolThank you :)P.S. Is there more themes? xD lol no, I love these, but if there are more, a way to find them :) I'd want them to look like yours though lol (yours are clean and perfect, so they'd have to fit with that lol)
Pros:
3 Themes to Choose From
Amazing Tab Section
Can easily replace Notepad for .txt
All the features of Wordpad but slimmed down (and yes, no word & spell checks, but....)
This isn't supposed to be wordpad ^^
Seriously this is absolutely perfect!
Cons:
lol other than I gotta figure out how to make it my default, which shouldn't be a problem, but maybe a feature (with a showing of how to undo if they ever uninstall) to choose this as their default notepad.
