System Update #0071: New Notepad Spellcheck Feature

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞

Was your business around back in 1983 when Windows Notepad graced the world? It allowed people to use a simple document creator to write and edit plain text for many, it felt life-changing. Of course, today, many prefer Microsoft Word or any of its dozens of alternatives to create and share files. Still, Notepad has one perk that hasn't changed it has always been a free, fast, and less resource-intensive option.

If you're acquainted with Microsoft Suite, you know many of its programs (like Word and the Microsoft Edge Browser) use spellcheck and autocorrect. Up until now, Notepad couldn't do this, forcing document writers to rewrite certain words or, worse miss crucial mistakes manually. Whether for business or pleasure, Notepad users were also on their own when figuring out spelling and grammar.

Cost-conscious business owners may want to revisit this tried-and-tested app because it's even better with the new Notepad spellcheck feature! Regardless, your business has a new tool at its disposal that's worth knowing about.

I've put together three takeaways and next steps:

1. How does this feature work?:

Notepad in Windows is catching up with the times and highlighting all those nasty errors that are detrimental to achieving professionalism and flawless word processing. If you misspell or use a word incorrectly, Notepad now easily identifies the word you were going for or underlines it with the red squiggly line so that you notice the problem.

2. A Multi-Lingual Time Saver:

The new Notepad spellcheck feature not only encourages confidence in even the best writers but also secures professional, error-free files in multiple languages. Your employees no longer have to waste time and break their concentration searching for certain word spellings, which should help productivity.

3. Context is Everything:

Of course, Notepad's creators also understand that your business doesn't want to correct mistakes in all file types. Coding files like config or log files incorporate letter-number jumbles that make perfect sense in your business's operating system. That squiggly line popping up across most (if not all) of your content would be overwhelming, so the new Notepad spellcheck feature will automatically be off for these files unless you manually turn it on.
