what do you mean with notepad?
I suggest the latest JCE Editor with html, css and scripting enabled. If you still have problems, disable all editors and edit the raw html code by hand.
Btw: look to the documentataion.
{joodb FIELDNAME} .... joodb will print the content of the desired field.

But i also got a question about how to edit the view templates to your own taste. What i mean by that is there are only 3 entrys visible (Value, Title, Picture) I want to edit this so i can have my own table to show up. I tried by opening catelog view template with notepad (in joomla itself) but he doesnt seem to save the changes
