You can either export your private keys unencrypted, in which case you (or anyone else) can read them, or encrypted.

Hmm, I stumbled on this while searching for ways to view the private key.

Here's my question: If a person can view the private key with Notepad, then what is the point of password-protecting the private key?

Open your unencrypted wallet with notepad or something and print it. Encrypt your wallet afterwards.
