Best Text Editing software

For those who do a little text editing job, the bundled notepad in Windows should be suffice. If you need more functions such as text designing or posting images in your article, you may need more powerful software such as the microsoft words. But what if you are a programmer or you need to open dozen of text files for simultaneously editing? Notepad & Microsoft Words fails in such need. That's the reason I started searching for a free text editing software for my programming works. And I found the one I'm looking for, it's called NoteTab light.

NoteTab light has it strengths and weaknesses just like notepad and words does. They are use in different purposes for different types of user. If you are programmer, then you'd find that NoteTab is very useful. Otherwise, notepad can do light editing job just fine.

There is a very important feature in NoteTab that stand out from other editing software, that's its Multi-tab function. If you are using newer firefox or IE browser, you should find the tab function very useful. Basically, the tab function in NoteTab light works exactly the same way as in browser. You can open lots of tab (should be unlimited) in NoteTab for different files. It can open many files type such as txt, html, php, js..etc.

So why would you need the multi tab function. For example, you need to change a line of codes across all html pages. Of course, you can do it one by one using notepad, but what if you have hundreds of pages? That'd probably takes a lot of time to do. With NoteTab light, you can highlight all the html file you want to modify and choose open. Once every files have been opened in different tab, you can use the search and replace function to change the same line of codes to another in just seconds! And I guaranteed you that this can't be done either on notepad or words. I found it particularly useful when modifying codes and it saves me a lot of time while doing so. Every files were beautifully arrange on top, no more messy files on my task bar again. If you want to close all tabs, you don't have to close it one by one, just right click on the tab and choose "close all". Only the tab you are pointing on will not be closed. Or if you have uncompleted job you want to continue to next day, you can just close the whole software leaving the tab as it is. The tabs that are not closed will be shown when the next time you open the software. The auto save function is another useful feature that make sure you or someone don't accidentally close the software. No more worries about losing your work in electric outbreak or unexpected computer mulfunction.

NoteTab light just as its name indicated, light and easy to use. The size of the software is small and it doesn't takes a lot of your PC resources. And the software open almost immediately unlike Microsoft words that take some time to load. NoteTab light is a great little software tool for text editing and it's freeware. That's mean you can download the full version for free without any hidden charges!
