How to Close a File After Editing With Notepad
Windows 7 includes a basic text editor, called Notepad, which is useful for handling plain text documents. In some cases, such as writing HTML code, it is the preferred program because it does not add formatting codes that can interfere with the HTML. Notepad does not have an option to close your document. Instead, closing the document occurs whenever you close the program or choose to open another document.
