New (Ctrl+N)

Creates a new empty document. TED Notepad may ask, whether to save the current document before creating a new one.

Open (Ctrl+O)

Shows the Open dialog and then opens selected file. TED Notepad may ask, whether to save the current document before opening a new one.

Save (Ctrl+S)

Saves the current document to a file from which it was loaded or to which it was saved for the last time. If no such file was specified before, TED Notepad will ask to choose one.

Save As...

Asks for a file name to save the current document to and then saves the document to that file.

Save in ANSI/Unicode/UTF-8 (Ctrl+U)

Switches between saving in ANSI, UTF-8 and both Unicode file formats. You can see the actual state of this option in the Status bar too.

Note: This option can be modified also by double-clicking on the Status bar field.

See chapter Managing documents for more details on file formats.

Save in Unix (Ctrl+I)

Switches between saving in UNIX and the default Windows file format. You can see the actual state of this option in the Status bar. A check mark by this menu item indicates the state too.

This option may be toggled also by double-clicking on the Status bar field.

See chapter Managing documents for more details on file formats.

Print (Ctrl+P)

Prints the current document.

Note: Word-wrapping is always being made while printing, so the lines of the document would always fit on the page. However, the lines are wrapped to fit the sheet, therefore the actual word wrapping used while displaying the document on the screen may be different. If you want to have lines wrapped in the same way as they are wrapped while displayed, use Commit Word Wrap tool before printing. See chapter Word Wrap tools for more details.

Minimize To Tray (Ctrl+M)

Minimizes (hides) the main application window and adds a small icon to the System Tray area, near the clock. To restore the main window, just click on the icon.
