window, which can produce disastrous results when you’re trying to follow,

say, a soufflé recipe.

Fortunately, if you choose the Format → Word Wrap command, lines of
text wrap automatically, exactly as they do in a word processor. And they
stay wrapped as you edit or change the window size. (You can tell when

Word Wrap is on by the presence of a checkmark next to the command in
the Format menu.)

There are search/replace commands, a Bing search tool, zoom in/zoom out

commands, and a Help command (which does nothing more than open your
web browser and perform a Bing search for “get help with notepad in
windows 10”).

Paint

You can use Paint (Figure 8-36) to “paint” simple artwork or to edit
graphics files from other sources. You might say Paint is something like

Adobe Photoshop (well, in the same way you might say the local Cub Scout
newsletter is something like The New York Times). Common tasks for this
program include making quick sketches, fixing dust specks on scanned

photos, and entertaining kids for hours on end.

When you first open Paint, you get a small, empty painting window. Go like
this:

1. From the File menu, choose Properties to specify the
dimensions of the graphic you want to create. Click OK.

Later in your life, you can revisit that command to adjust your
graphic’s dimensions.

2. Click a tool on the Home tab, like the Pencil.

If you need help identifying one of these tools, tap it, or point to it
without clicking. A tooltip identifies the icon by name, with a help

message.

3. Click a “paint” color from the palette.
