This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the Text Formatting toolbar in Notepad for your account in Windows 11.
Notepad is a fast and simple text editor that can be used to view, edit, and search through plain text documents instantly.
Starting with Notepad version 11.2504.50.0 and higher to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11, Microsoft is beginning to roll out lightweight formatting in Notepad, providing additional flexibility in how you structure content across your files. The experience supports Markdown style input and files for users who prefer to work directly with the lightweight markup language. To get started, use the new formatting toolbar to apply formatting as you type or to selected text, including bold and italic styling, hyperlinks, and support for simple lists and headings.
If at any point you want to return to plain text, you can clear all formatting from the formatting toolbar or from the edit menu. You can switch between formatted Markdown and Markdown syntax views in the view menu or by selecting the toggle button in the status bar at the bottom of the window. If you prefer, you can disable support for formatting entirely in app settings.
If you don't have the Text Formatting feature available in the Notepad version and Insider channels above yet, then you can enable it using the ViVeTool command below.
