    Hello,

    TeX and LaTeX source files are conventionally named with the extension .tex. Any text processor can be used to create a .tex file. It is best to refrain from using commercial word processors, because these applications have a nasty habit of embedding unprintable bytes, even in files that are nominally plain text. There are good text processors that colorize TeX syntax, such as BBEdit (for Macintosh) and GWD Text Editor (for Windows).

    To use TeX, you will definitely need a distribution. TeX will be much easier to use if you also have a graphical shell that works as a front end.

    At present, the only TeX distribution that I am recommending for Windows is MIKTEX. Miktex is one of the several current "standard" tex distributions for Windows, so most add-on programs written for tex on Windows are compatible with Miktex.
