You can always use WordPad, which is usually also available as part of the wondows OS distribution package. It shold be more robust.

I have found that even though NotePad will edit medium large files, it won't do
a search-and-replace (if that's what you did) for as large a file; it'll quit after a
couple of hundred lines or so. And it gives no indication that it failed to
complete the operation.


One recommendation I would make is to do a search for NotePad+ (free
download) which is much more robust and flexible than NotePad. I have also
found EditPad the same way (and also available in a free version) and it, to is
much more robust and flexible than the original NotePad. I now use it for all of
my HTML editing for my website.
