I love using Windows 7 sticky notes for keeping small lists of stuff that have to get done, but by default, sticky notes are in a scripty font. I&#8217;m not sure exactly which font it is, but it is certainly not a font that you expect to use to edit code.\u00a0 There is no obvious way to change the font of a sticky note &#8211; if you right click, the only options on the context menu are the background colors of the sticky note.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you format some text using Word, and then copy \/ paste into a sticky note, the sticky note retains the formatting and font, and you have a mini text editor that you can paste code into.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_94\" style=\"width: 665px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericwhite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/StickyNotes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94\" title=\"StickyNotes with fixed font\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ericwhite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/StickyNotes.jpg\" alt=\"StickyNotes with fixed font\" width=\"655\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ericwhite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/StickyNotes.jpg 655w, https:\/\/www.ericwhite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/StickyNotes-300x247.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-94\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">StickyNotes with fixed font<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a funny little trick that I didn&#8217;t know you could do until about a week ago.
