Quite the wait for Microsoft to add this update 😅
Good things come to those who wait, goes the old adage. But for regular users of Windows Notepad, the wait might have been far longer than they bargained for. Microsoft is finally going to add autocorrect and spell check to the app, 41 years after it was first introduced. The simple text editor was first rolled out in 1983 and had its stable release four decades later in February 2023. The Verge reports that the features will be added to Notepad for Windows 11 users.
A red line will appear under words that are misspelt, offering a correction to fix it - although The Verge reports that this takes an extra click to see the list of correct spellings. For users who are wondering, the website also reports that users will be able to enable or disable spell check on a file-by-file basis in Notepad; it can simply be toggled in the settings. Giving you the freedom to use the app as you please.
