F.C.E. 365 Fast Note - Elegance Edition

Creating notes is one of those simple tasks that everyone takes for granted. More often than not, users employ advanced text editors for basic tasks that could be performed with a dedicated smaller utility. F.C.E. 365 Fast Note - Elegance Edition attempts to fix this issue, by providing users a lightweight note editor.

The program features a highly intuitive and simple one-windowed interface. A significant amount of this is taken up by the frame that stores the note's text. There are no tabs or menu items and customizing the text is performed with the several on-screen buttons; this is a great setup, as it allows one to focus on the actual text, rather than on finding elusive program functions.

Once the text is inserted, users are free to perform several of the basic editing adjustments, including italicizing and underlining strings. These effects can be applied over the entire text or just a user-defined selection. Users can also apply bold and strikethrough effects and a “Clear” button allows users to reset the note's text.

A useful feature is the ability to insert a note title. Users are well-advised not to skip this step, as, once finished, the application automatically applies the title to the file name. Of course, users are free to change the designation; however, if the title is defined correctly, it saves one the time required to type a file name.

Output documents take the RTF format and one of the great functions of this small application is the ability to also load such text files. The utility is not only a valuable text editor, but also doubles as a good note viewer.

In conclusion, F.C.E. 365 Fast Note - Elegance Edition is a good tool for anyone who relies on a daily basis on memos, notes and other similar short text files.
