Notepad is a text editor same like as Edit in Dos. We use notepad to create or edit files which do not require formatting. It saves the text in Text Only format. Notepad has a limit of size i.e. it can handle files having the size of less than 64 KB.

To copy text so you can paste it in another location, select the text, and then on the Edit menu, click Copy.
To paste text you have cut or copied, place the insertion point where you want to paste the text, and then on the Edit menu, click Paste.
To delete text, select it, and then on the Edit menu, click Delete.

Wrapping text makes all the text visible on the screen, but it doesn't affect the way text appears when it is printed.
