How to Set TextEdit to Default to Create Plain Text Documents
How to Set TextEdit to Default to Create Plain Text Documents
Open TextEdit and pull down the “TextEdit” menu and head to “Preferences”
Go to the “New Document” tab and look under ‘Format’
Check the box next to “Plain text” to set all new documents to automatically default to be plain txt
That’s it, now anytime you hit Command+N or launch a new TextEdit file, it will default to be a plain text file.
It also simplifies the TextEdit appearance a bit by removing the formatting option buttons across the top of an
open file window.
