- "Powerful, free text editor proves beauty is skin deep"
- Version reviewed: NoteTab Light 5.61
Once you explore the power of NoteTab Light, you may find this text editor beautiful despite its hectic interface. At its core, NoteTab Light is to Windows' Notepad as an iPhone is to a rotary phone. NoteTab Light incorporates top-level tabs similar to most Web browsers, so that you can manage several different projects at once, and it can automatically replace Notepad so that Notepad's icons open NoteTab instead--although not in Windows Vista.
However, it's more than a mere replacement. The left column displays a list of commands, called Clips, that do anything from inserting bits of text to generating code. Each library, the roster of which appears as tabs at the bottom of the screen, contains its own set of clips. The FTP library, for example, lets you create server profiles, connect, upload and download files, and issue various commands. The HTML library auto-completes HTML tags. The publisher's site offers many user-created libraries, or you can make your own. You can create your own clips by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2.
Several of the clips, including the Tidy HTML clip and the TopStyle library, require secondary freeware apps to support them, but NoteTab will direct you to their Web pages if it finds them missing. NoteTab Light isn't a tool for casual users, but power users and programmers should find plenty to love.

"Everything you need in a text editor & then some - I LOVE NoteTab Light!"
Pros: I've used it for at least 2 yrs now, and love the features and the fact you can customize just about anything (quite a bit of customization availble even in the freeware version). The most recent release just improves upon the already outstanding program & its features. It's become a necessity in my life, and I love it. If you work with text a lot, program, or need to organize and spreadsheets & databases either arent' your thing, or are just too much, then this is the perfect app for you!

Version: NoteTab Light 5.61
Pros: I've had NoteTab light on all my pcs for many years. For me it is an essential basic for anyone wanting a flexible text tool and much more. Once you learn it's functions you'll wonder how you got along without it.
Cons: Can't think of anything I don't like about it.
