You can use any editor. However, I recommend a good "programmer's editor"
like VIM that automatically stylizes, colorizes, and syntax-checks your
code. An alternative to VIM is Emacs. VIM vs Emacs is a popular "computer
holy war", and I personally am on the VIM side because I started VIM first
and I find it easier. They're both available online in a Windows version,
but I don't know where.
If you choose a word processor like Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, or even
WordPad, be sure to save as plain 8-bit ASCII or ANSI text. Any other
formats add extra stuff that the compiler can't understand. I don't
recommend word processors for programming anyway because it's easiest to
see what's going on if you have a fixed width font and less stylizing
silliness.
