can i use a notepad to design?
can i use a notepad to design?
of course you can if you like
If you mean websites the answer is - yes you can.
For documents that should look fine when printed I'd recommend something different.

I've allways coded my pages in a text editor.
Scite is my favorite one

Won't you like to test your coding off and on to test that it is correctly coded or else shortcuts to write standard HTML and related languages code/reserved words/ formats by itself, practice the same and you will find them friendly, less brain scraching, faster and convenient and EVRSOFT is one of the answers.

Using a notepad. (eg. Notepad++). Using the notepad, that comes with windows is running the gauntlet...
Notepad is good but Phase 5 html-editor is better

For design? No! ... or Yes ... but only in ASCII art
...
You can use it for coding
And no - I can't recommend pure notepad. Use something with syntax highlightning ... I use notepad++ (with few plugins) at work and in home
But if You are unfamilliar with html then ... go and learn (Yes - there are WYSIWYG but most of them is generating trash-code)Basically any apps or tools that could produce plain text will do !
Such as word, openoffice .. etc.

Those don't produce plain text. You shouldn't use those because they will modify your code.
Use notepad (not wordpad) or some script-editor.

Most of word processing apps do have save as plain text feature.
For instance, both word and wordpad did.
Just choose plain text (*.txt) when saving the file on the save as dialog.
On the wordpad, the screen layout will have different look when editing plain text.

Yes you can, but its much easier to use Dreamweaver, as you don't have to individually type in code, look up a lot of codes, etc. so I would prefer deamweaver but yes, you can sue notepad.

WYSIWYG should be used by someone who know how to code "by hand" ... If You use it because You don't want to learn HTML (which is realy easy) then ... well... let say that it's not the point ...
It's to expensive tool for someone who don't know how things work ...
ANd .. WYSIWYG - even DreamWeaver - make messy code sometimes ...
And once again ... desing isn't equal to coding
You design in graphic apps .. then coding in for example notepad++ ...If you are good with code then yes, notepad is just fine. Though, some other also free editors like Notepad++ are much better solution.
Visual editors are always easier to use and helps you to get started quicker, but if you can do without it (I don’t see a reason why you shouldn’t), text editor is just fine.

Notepad is excellent for design if you know what you are doing.
If you know web designing as well you can , I prefer Dreamweaver because he prompt me if I have create a mistake. I have heard that the notepad 2 or like that is better for web scripting then windows based notpad.
