Rich Text Editor

Rich Text Editor is a tiny and portable Windows application that provides users with a familiar environment for writing text. It comprises basic options which make it suitable whenever you need to take notes on the go.

As installation is not required, you can drop the executable file in any part of the hard disk and just click it to run.

Another possibility is to save a copy of Rich Text Editor to the USB flash disk or similar removable device, in order to use it on any PC easily, without installing anything beforehand.

An important factor to take into account is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not receive new entries, and no additional files are created on the hard disk without your consent.

The user-friendly GUI resembles the one of a simplistic word processor like Notepad, so figuring out its features shouldn't be a difficult task even for the less experienced users.

Standard editing tools include cut, copy, paste, delete, and select all text. Plus, you can insert the current date and time stamp, configure regular font settings (e.g. style, size, effects), change text and highlight colors, align and emphasize text, as well as insert bullets. Projects can be saved to RTF, DOC, DOCX, HTM or HTML format, as well as printed.

The program does not hog system resources, as it runs on low CPU and RAM. We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation, since Rich Text Editor was stable. Considering its simplicity, this app is a pretty nice alternative when looking for a quick method to write text without customizing complicated features.
