"""
This script provides a simple interface for interacting with Notepad windows on Windows operating systems.
It allows users to move and resize Notepad windows to specific locations on the screen.

Requirements:
- Python 3.x
- Windows operating system

Functions:
1. move_and_resize_notepad():
    - Prompts the user to select a cell location and then moves and resizes the Notepad window accordingly.
2. main_menu():
    - Displays a menu for the user to choose options like moving and resizing Notepad or exiting the program.

Usage:
To use this script, run it in a Python environment.
Follow the on-screen instructions to choose options from the menu.

Additional Notes:
- This script assumes that Notepad is available and accessible on the system.
- It uses ctypes to interact with the Windows API for window manipulation.
