[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1183359, member: 71075"] TextEdit differs from Notepad in one significant way - Notepad is plain text, TextEdit is rich text. When you save a file as rich text, the file is saved with much more content than you put in your document. This content defines how the document looks - you'll notice that in TextEdit, you can change the font, change colours, etc. This is because it is rich text and not plain text which is, well, just plain. You can have TextEdit work in plain text mode if you'd like. Go to Format > Make Plain Text. When the file is saved, it will save as plain text, much like Notepad does. [/QUOTE]
