Microsoft’s Notepad app on Windows 11 has received a significant update, adding support for creating Markdown tables. This feature allows users to structure information in a lightweight and Word-like grid without leaving the editor. The new table functionality is available in preview through the Dev and Canary Channels of the Windows Insider Program and may be rolled out to the Stable Channel soon.
To use the new table feature, simply click on “Table” from the toolbar or use Markdown syntax by switching to the “Markdown” view and typing specific code. Users can create tables with up to three columns and three rows using Markdown syntax, as shown below:
|Header 1|||
|-|-|-|
|Row 1|||
To edit a table, click on it, then select options such as inserting new columns or rows from the “Edit table” menu. The feature also includes limited advanced formatting options.
While Notepad is not becoming an Excel-style spreadsheet tool, this update provides users with a convenient way to organize information in a structured format. Users can use Markdown syntax to create tables that are compatible with various platforms and devices.
