Hi Rob,

Like Burr mentions you can just use any text editor, like for example Notepad that comes with Windows will work. Go to Start/Run and type in "Notepad" to launch it, then after you write some text save it with a .js file extension. (or an .htm extension if you are making an HTML file)

Notepad is pretty basic, you may want to look at Notepad++ or Notepad2 for some improved text editors.

It is possible to do it in Word, if you make sure to choose "Plain text" as the file type when saving. But mostly Word is oriented towards making "rich text" documents and not simple plain text ones. Instead it tends to be better to use Notepad for plain text since that is all that it does and there is no need to worry about what kind of file is being created.
