21 1 ReplyHonestly if I need to format, that gets done in the app that I'm going to send whatever text.
Whatever goes into notepad for me will either get deleted, go into notepad++, or whatever app I'm going to send it (office).

There's notepad and if I want anything fancy, either use libreoffuce or MS's online MS Word.
