EmEditor

Nowadays, text editing is an activity done by most of the computer users. Some of them have to deal with large text files. Windows includes two programs for text editing, but unfortunately, they lack a lot of useful options and also, they can't handle large text files. A text editor that has all these and also supports editing large documents is EmEditor. Compared to the text editors that come with Windows, this one offers features like macros, syntax highlighting or unicode support. These features are required even by average users and they simplify a lot the process of editing text.

The installation of EmEditor completes fast and during this process, the user is able to add a tray icon, associate EmEditor with text files, use it to view source for the pages found in Internet Explorer and add it to the Internet Explorer HTML editor list.

The program's interface resembles the one of a classic text editor, as it includes a menu bar, a toolbar and a text area. The toolbar's icons can be used for completing most of the program's actions and they are also very well done and intuitive, allowing even inexperienced users to take advantage of it.

Text editing is what every text editor offers to its users, but what makes them different from one another is the number of functions and features and how simple those features are to use. Thus, a feature included in EmEditor is the possibility to open files in individual tabs. This may prove extremely useful for moving text from one file to another, for example. EmEditor also allows quickly searching and replacing text, which can save you time and effort, especially when dealing with large files that need a lot of replacing inside of them.

A feature that normally you'll find in more advanced text editors, like Microsoft Word, is the possibility to create and use macros, which will greater speed up tasks and help you complete them more efficiently. The software also allows syntax highlighting for a large number of programming languages.

EmEditor is extremely flexible, thus the toolbar buttons can be configured, moved or changed. Also, it supports the use of additional plugins. Bookmarks can also be used, which is useful for finding certain parts of text in large files.
