Additional Tips

• File Extensions: Remember that Notepad saves files as plain text by default, which means no formatting is applied. If you need to save formatted text, consider using a different text editor like WordPad or Microsoft Word.
• Accessing Saved Files: You can find your saved Notepad files in the location you selected during the save process. Double-click the file to open it again in Notepad or any compatible text editor.
  By following these steps, you can easily save your Notepad files in various formats according to your needs.
