Advanced Editing with UltraEdit UltraEdit Andrew Gorrie
Have you found editing text with Notepad more than a bit frustrating? UltraEdit, a Windows editor developed by IDM, might be the answer. It is a full replacement for Notepad with a lot of extra features you might find handy. Experienced users will find this program a versatile one to work with.
UltraEdit's user interface is familiar to anyone who has used Microsoft Word. As a result, the learning curve is not as steep as one would expect. If you don't use Word, don't fear; it also has standard Windows features. And if you are still in need of help, an online manual contains a tutorial and FAQ.
As a business user, why would you want to use UltraEdit? Email, Web Pages, Database flat files, and Readme files are plain text, which is what it supports. If you want to read the source, the behind-the-scenes code, you have to use a text editor. Notepad is about the only option on most Windows machines, and short period of time using it shows how limited it is. An advanced program such as UltraEdit can help banish the text editor woes.
