PolyEdit is a compact multipurpose word processor and text editor for Microsoft Windows.
The program can be downloaded as PolyEdit Lite, which is free for home use.
PolyEdit can compress and encrypt documents saved in its native Enhanced Text Format (*.etf), using the Blowfish and SHA-1 algorithms.
It can embed OLE objects and images (the latter including PNG files, JPEGs, BMPs, GIFs, and icons).
PolyEdit has been criticized by several reviewers for lacking some standard word processing features such as support for footnotes and PDF export.
