This tutorial will show you how to insert and edit tables in your document in the Notepad app on 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 11.2510.6.0 and higher to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels, Microsoft is expanding lightweight formatting in Notepad with support for tables. You can now easily insert tables in your document to help structure your notes. To get started, look for the new Table option in the formatting toolbar or by adding them using Markdown syntax directly. Once inserted, you can perform quick edits to add or remove rows and columns in the right-click context menu or from the Table menu in the toolbar.
