– In Windows Explorer, click the command "File" → "New" → "Text Document".
– Launch Notepad without a file. A new empty file is then opened. Then select the
command "File" → "Save As" → "Encoding: ANSI"
– Make a copy of an existing text file you wish to use as a template for the new text file.
We recommend saving an additional version of
the text file as a Word file and using this version
as the basis for future editing.
It is then no longer necessary to open and
convert the file.
