The .TXT (Plain Text File) file extension is used for text files created on most major operating systems. A text file is simply a file containing plain text, without any formatting or layouts. This allows for large amounts of data to be stored and transmitted in an easily readable format and is used for many applications from software programming to basic word processing. Text files are the main file type used in Microsoft Windows Notepad, as well as Mac OS X TextEdit, and other programs such as WordPad.
Formatting and Variations
Text files primarily have the.TXT extension, but there are also some other extensions that are mainly related to either specific text-editing programs or particular types of text files. These include: .INI, .BAT, .HTM, .HTML, and .RTF. The.INI file extension is used for initialization files, which can contain various settings that programs can use upon startup. The.BAT file type defines executable scripts in text format created by numerous computer apps, including backup utilities and some installers. The.HTM and.HTML extensions are used for Hyper Text Markup Language files primarily designed with the purpose of displaying web pages. And finally the.RTF extension is used for Rich Text Format files which include font formatting and other characteristics stored within it.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TEXT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .TEXT extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .TEXT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .TEXT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .TEXT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TEXT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TEXT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .TEXT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TEXT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .TEXT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
