I am trying to find a Windows text editor with an easy way to resize the font directly with mouse buttons or the scroll wheel with a good text wrap option. Those two features are important to me!

Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi Issam, I read your reply and I think there is some confusion about terminology here. Word wrap means that the editor puts as many words as will fit in the window (or within the paragraph width, if it's a word processor), and then move the rest of the text to the next line, and so on. If you want to be able to put each word on a separate line, or combine all the words in a document into a single, long paragraph etc, then you need an editor with good search and replace facilities, ideally with Regular Expression (Regex) support, such as Notepad++ or any of hundreds of other editors.

Notepad2 is very adaptable but to be honest it depends exactly on what you want to use it for i.e. writing code etc.If you Google 'Notepad alternatives' you will come up with a hell of a lot.I tried a few different alternatives until I settled on Notepad2.

What's wrong with Microsoft's own notepad? It supports the mouse wheel, and the options you are asking for are there under "Format"!

Use wordpad. It is preinstalled on windows.
