14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft is still working on a touch-based version of Office, so in the meantime users have no other option than to look in the Store for a Metro text editor.
One of the best choices is Notepad+, a very clean and intuitive application that relies on a simple approach to help users work with documents without the need for leaving the Modern UI.
The app supports snap and portrait view modes and can be installed on both Windows 8 and Windows RT versions of Microsoft’s new OS, which means that Surface RT buyers can use it too.
This is only an early version of the app, so expect many more features to be included in the upcoming updates. Still, it remains a very helpful choice for those who wish to edit their documents without being bothered by more complex features.
