Advance Notepad

Advance Notepad is an enhanced version of Notepad, providing users with an extra array of features intended to ease everyday work. While it doesn't extend the range of supported file formats, there are other options that add to its value.
The most noticeable difference is the new buttons embedded in the toolbar, alongside the standard ones for opening a file or creating a new document. Advance Notepad enables you to quickly change the case of selected portions of text and insert the current time and date within your document with just a click.
There are a few tools that make it distinct from standard text processing programs. For instance, it features automatic link recognition and comes with a built-in calendar that can prove quite useful for storing details about important appointments or tasks, so that you don't miss any of the following events.
The integrated calculator helps you perform basic mathematical operations, such as additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions, as well as determine powers, inverse fractions or square roots. You get all these functions with the similar tool that Windows includes by default, but the advantage is related to the access speed.
Another feature worth mentioning is the 'Snapshot mode'. This options allows you to take screenshots of the whole desktop and save them locally in a specified location, in PNG format only. The predefined hotkeys make it very easy to use. The application also features a text-to-speech tool, but this function failed to work during our tests.
Aside from the above features, Advance Notepad acts as a regular text editor, comprising basic functionality that you would expect from an application of this type. You can modify the font style, set the text alignment, enable word wrapping, cut, copy or paste text, find and replace words, as well as customize the font and the background color according to what you prefer.
Considering the additional advantages that this application brings you, we could affirm that it is a viable and improved alternative to the standard text editor that comes bundled with Windows.
