Windows sometimes tries to outsmart you and even when you type "Save As" in notepad with a filename like "foobar.pgn" it will really save it as "foobar.pgn.txt". Then the ".txt" is the *real* extension which makes it use notepad again. You might need to find some kind of setting in windows file exploder that lets you view all file extensions, once you can see this culprit extension, you can then rename it from ".txt" back to ".pgn".
Do NOT try to use 'save as'. Mouseover the file name, right click, choose "rename", ignore the warning about maybe that will cause the file not to work.

You can use "save as". Just change the save as .txt to all files, then type the name with .pgn at the end

Thank you very much!
Hi everyone.
I would like to write a PGN file for a puzzle.
The pieces are as follows:
wKd4 wBb3 wQc2 bPa6 bRa5 bPb5 bKb4
I know that this simply menas
WHITE: "King at d4", "Bishop at b3", "Queen at c2"
BLACK: "Pawn at a6", "Rook at a5", "Pawn at b5" and "King at b4"
I do not know how to transform the given data into a valid PGN file
The puzzle is that WHITE starts and checkmates with only two moves.

Yes, most certainly.
After you download and try out the program, assuming you like what you see and think it's a GUI you may wish to use, I can give you the specific steps, if you need them.
