Quick guide to creating simple plain text (.txt) files on Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS and Linux.
Text files are useful for sending code or short pieces of information that may get corrupted or changed if shared directly in an email, messaging platform or support portal.
On Apple MacOS you will be able to create a plain text file using the “TextEdit” program that comes as standard.
By default TextEdit will try and create a rich text document, to switch to plain text.
