Answer 1

A text editor is just a program that is used to modify and change text files. Text files might include extensions like .txt or .doc or even .html. If you want to edit a normal file that has text in it, then you can use a text editor to change any of the texts in a file. Microsoft word is a type of text editor but it usually edits documents. However, you can edit a word document in a text editor as well. It just wont look as pretty though.

Answer 2

A text editor is a piece of computer software for editing plain text. It is distinguished from a word processor in that it does not manage document formatting or other features commonly used in desktop publishing.

Text editors are often provided with operating systems or software development packages, and can be used to change configuration files and programming language source code.

Some text editors are small and simple, while others offer a broad and complex range of functionality. For example, Unix and Unix-like operating systems have the vi editor (or a variant), but many also include the Emacs editor. Microsoft Windows systems come with the very simple Notepad, though many people (especially programmers) use a more complete program. Under Apple Macintosh's classic Mac OS, there was the native SimpleText, which was replaced or supplemented by WorldText. Some editors, such as TextEdit and WordStar, have dual operating modes, allowing them to be either a text editor or a word processor.
