This piece of software has been in Windows since 1995.  Now, however, it&#8217;s no longer being updated and at some point will be removed from Windows altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-510c076c5ec87e94dd95c9a075504724\" id=\"h-i-never-heard-of-wordpad\">I Never Heard Of WordPad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0e704d862f4753600bd2acefcb8cf3a2\">For many Windows users, the fact that WordPad exists is a shock.  Even when people see the program listed, many haven&#8217;t a clue why it&#8217;s there or how to use it.  Let&#8217;s see if I can enlighten you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6bab9712629f5e11d9d05eff0aa8ceac\" id=\"h-what-is-wordpad\">What Is WordPad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c9550aa1f83eebf6d4c3221cbd8df7e8\">WordPad originally was a part of Windows so that people could open Rich Text Format (.rtf) files.  It differed from NotePad in that you could use different font colors; you could change text to bold, italics, or underline it; and there were other features, too. You can&#8217;t do any of these things in NotePad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-be3c8303f44bbbfc4517470ffbc138e2\" id=\"h-how-do-you-find-wordpad\">How Do You Find WordPad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1eec476192552b9212afceacc3ebae58\">If you&#8217;ve never used WordPad, you should check it out before it goes away.  In Windows 10 or 11, just use the search bar and input &#8220;WordPad&#8221; with or without the quotes.  Open it up and play around with it.  You&#8217;ll see all the extra features it has over NotePad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d46280f345f84337ff3f8887cb8b1d94\" id=\"h-what-can-i-use-instead\">What Can I Use Instead?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dd67cec955fb5228db8c996b1c50594a\">There are many alternatives to WordPad.  Of course, Microsoft Word would be at the top of the list. Beyond that, there are, to name a few, Google Docs, Libre Office Writer, and WordPerfect (Yes, it still exists!).  A search on Bing or Google will give you even more choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-89e4b6dd7cb59378256c2273e79dcf66\">All these alternatives are examples of why Microsoft is getting rid of WordPad.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a8ebb2cda4219ea2afc2175ec6f9dd62\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e1169a151c269f0a4a12fdf52e6df678\">If you have used WordPad, now&#8217;s the time to figure out your alternative.  If you&#8217;ve never used it, as I suggested above, check it out before it&#8217;s gone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, WordPad is on its way out of the Windows Operating System.
