I bet some of you haven’t heard of WordPad yet. Or even if you have heard about it, if you have not used it or if you have simply forgotten its existence. Why? Why? Well, if we need a simple text editor, we use the notepad (16). If we need an advanced text editor, we use Microsoft Word. But somewhere in the middle, with more features than the modest Notepad, but less features than the powerful Wordpad software, is Wordpad – it’s free!
WordPad is a word processing software with basic formatting options and is included in all versions of the Windows 95 or later operating system. He was always there, but he never really did much good. In this post today, we will see how to use Wordpad under Windows 10 and reset Wordpad settings if something goes wrong.
WordPad on Windows 10
To use Wordpad on Windows 10, type ‘wordpad‘ in the taskbar and click the result. This opens WordPad.
To open Wordpad, you can also use the Run write.exe command. Press WinKey+R, type write.exe or wordpad.exe and press Enter.
Wordpad file name is wordpad.exe and is located at the following location :
C:Program filesWindows NTA accessories
Its abbreviation is at the following location:
C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart menuProgramsAccessories
Use Wordpad to create, edit, save, open, view, and print text documents. You can format bold, underline and italics, change font color and size, create bulleted lists, center paragraphs or left/right align, insert images and much more. Just play with the easy-to-use ribbon menu until you have an idea of what it has to offer.
WordPad, as well as other integrated tools such as Character Map, Windows Fax and Scan are now ported to the Windows Store as universal applications. You can now download the Wordpad application from the Windows store.
