My advice would be to not use Notepad (it's a worthless piece of 
c**p IMHO).  Text file conversion on the unix side can be handled 
in a number of different ways (AWK, sed, printer escape codes, etc).

The easiest way on the windoze side is to let your editor handle 
it.  A great freeware editor for win32 is PFE:

One of the first things I do when I set up a new windoze box is put 
PFE on it (it doesn't even need a setup program, just copy it to a 
local directory).

There are also versions of gvim and emacs for win9x/NT.  All the 
commercial editors I know of handle it transparently as well (eg, 
Brief, SlickEdit, etc).
