Create a notepad for a forlde

[Deon]

Good day, I am new to Mac but am doing well. How do I create a new notepad in a folder in My Documents,say.

Macs aren't Windows. There's no notepad. Perhaps you mean Notes, which doesn't store documents except in the cloud, or TextEdit?

In the latter, you would open TextEdit, write your note, and save it wherever you like. I believe Users/(you)/Documents is in fact the default location (not "My Documents" -- Macs aren't Windows). See image below.

Notes stores its notes in a central repository on your drive, but syncs it with iCloud so that you have your set of notes on every Mac or iOS device you own. You can export a note if you want, or copy/paste, but that's not the general idea.

I'm confused. Are you wanting to create a new text file in Documents?
You can use Textedit, just open the app, put whatever you want in it, then press command-s.
A dialog will open so you can name it and decide where you want it and save it.
