TxtEditor

Windows provides some of the most basic text editing tools by default for both plain, and rich text formats. In case you're fed up with them or simply want to try out something new, there are tons of third-party alternatives you can use. A suitable example is TxtEditor, with support for both plain and rich text files.

Going through the setup process isn't a test of patience, because it's over before you realize. There's also the possibility to have it launched as soon as setup is over to take it for a spin. A blank canvas shows up, with accommodation time not taking more than a few seconds. Most space is dedicated to text, while other functions are accessed through the context menu or the upper toolbar.

Once installed, you can treat the application like it was always there. As such, you can go ahead and load existing TXT or RTF files to continue working on them or for simple tweaks, or create new ones from scratch. Saving is also possible under these two supported formats, which is pretty decent.

Needless to say that there are some font customization options since one of the supported formats is RTF. You find them under the tools menu. These give you the chance to change the selection font style, type, attributes, size, and color to create a colorful, entertaining document, or simply to highlight particular elements.

What's more, the application allows you to load pictures inside the document, while word wrapping can neatly blend around the image. Selecting the picture makes it easy to adjust its size by dragging the edges around. For even more comfort, you can enable a word counter from the options menu, displaying status in real-time.

All things considered, we can state that TxtEditor is worth your while if you're looking for a simple alternatives to the text editors Windows provides by default. It might not be fitted with advanced features, or possibility to print, but it lets you customize text selections, and even work with pictures.
