How to quickly paste copied text to Notepad
Posted on April 13, 2008 at 9:09 am
Even though Notepad is a very old program that has been around since the beginning of Windows, I still find myself using it a lot. Whether it be to simply save some snippets of text for reference or to copy some heavily formatted text into plain text format, it’s still comes in handy!
It’s especially handy because it loads super fast and I have not only pinned to my Start Menu, but also sitting in my quick launch bar so I can access it immediately. So when I usually want to copy some text into Notepad from a web page or a file, I first select the text, then press CNTRL + C (or right-click and click on Copy), then open up Notepad, and then press CNTRL + V or Edit Paste from the Notepad menu.
That’s fine when you do it once or twice, but if you’re copying lots of things back and forth between two programs and you are using Notepad as a kind of intermediary, then you’ll wish there was an easier way to paste things into Notepad.
Send To Notepad is a nifty little application that will make your use of Notepad more productive. Send To Notepad is a simple tool, which sits in your task bar. You can use it to paste any copied text automatically to notepad. It is very useful when you are browsing the net. All you have to do is double click the icon in task bar, and it opens notepad with copied text in it.
Basically, using this program, there is no need to open Notepad and paste the text in! Both of those steps are taken care of for you, just copy the text and then double-click on the tray icon! Pretty sweet and very useful! Here’s some text I just copied from a Word document and automatically inserted into Notepad:
Sometimes I find the simplest tools to be the biggest productivity enhancers. I’m not sure how I worked before when I didn’t use Send To Notepad! I guess it’s especially useful for computer people who are constantly copying programming code, viewing log files, etc.
Definitely make sure to download and install Send To Notepad if you find yourself using it a lot! Enjoy!

Good small app – takes very little memory away.
It can do multiple copy, provided the user opens up the notepad first, otherwise the latest copy will overwrite the previous one.
what a way to show your laziness!!
