Method 1. Change the Background Color of Notepad
In this way, there is little in the way of color customization, but you can use the Notepad app to toggle between dark and light modes and the default Windows theme. That marks the procedure through which one can alter the background color of Windows 11 Notepad.
Step 1: Opening Windows Notepad.
Step 2: Click on the button Edit on your toolbar and go to Font.
Step 3: Click on the compass-like icon termed App theme and select between Light, Dark, and Use system settings.
Depending on the background picture or color, the background color should be changed.
Method 2. Change, font family selection, and font size alteration
There is a tendency for the default font he/she selects to be boring, especially after using it for a while. To update these, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Run the Windows 11 Notepad by clicking on the start menu and typing Notepad on the search bar, then click on the Notepad App.
Step 2: Go to the top toolbar and click on the Edit menu, then click on the font.
Step 3: Double-click the Font category and set the values by selecting from the Family, Style, and Size drop-down lists.
- Family: It refers to the font style. The following are some of the font types that are commonly used in the writing process.
- Style: This includes the following: Regular, Italic, bold as well, and bold italic.
- Size: This one determines how big or small texts appear on Notepad.
Method 3. Word Wrap is another option that needs to be either turned ‘On’ or ‘Off’ for it to function properly
One of the biggest features that one is likely to notice whenever typing on Notepad is that a long line of text continues into the next line without the requirement of the cursor moving to the next line at the end of the window.
Word Wrap is on by default and aligns the text to fit it the window space where it is written. The following are the directions to follow in enabling or disabling the function.
Step 1: Launch Notepad.
Step 2: The second step is to go to the Edit menu, then click Font.
Step 3: Under Text formatting, put the Word Wrap on or off.
Method 4. Writing Basics – Turn Spell check and/or Autocorrect On/Off
Modern writing applications have spell checks and autocorrect to help avoid grammatical mistakes. Notepad has this function.
Autocorrect will correct simple spelling errors and spell check, or use the system language in your device to guide the spelling in the application. To enable it, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open Notepad by clicking on the start menu and typing ‘notepad’.
Step 2: Click by Option Edit> Font.
Step 3: Click on Spell check/enabled and put it under the switch to the ‘On’ setting, and also toggle on Autocorrect under the Spelling section.
Method 5. Update File Opening Options
The same goes for Windows; using Ctrl + N, you will open a new tab, and using Ctrl + Shift + N, you will open a new Windows.
But if you want to open the new file using the Ctrl + O command or, for example, double-click on the new file, you have no choice – it will open in a new Tab or Window. These are the steps you can take to decide your defaults.
Step 1: Kindly click on the start button, and as a result, you will see the Windows Notepad application.
Step 2: Select the option in the top toolbar: Edit > Font.
Step 3: Open the Opening files drop-down and select Open in a new tab or Open in a new window.
Method 6. Continue from where you left off; Open Notepad From Previous Session
Another feature that will be useful when you launch Notepad next time is that you may wish to carry on from where you left off the last time you used it. To ensure that the previous session opens by default when you launch the app, follow these steps:
Step 1: Launch Notepad.
Step 2: From the toolbar, go to the Edit menu > Font.
Step 3: In the section When Notepad starts, click on the plus sign next to Open Notepad and choose Open Content from the previous session.
Method 7. Update Page Setup
The page setup commands in Notepad contain several choices that determine the look of the document’s pages. To open your page setup, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open the application known as Notepad.
Step 2: Click on the ‘File’ tab followed by ‘Page setup’.
