Man fuck Microsoft. Killing a free app and replacing it with a paid app that has a subscription bundled.
What the actual fuck!!?
It's word pad though, do you really ever use it? I use notepad for a quick temp fix in a pinch, I haven't used word pad in like 15 years.
Honestly if I need to format, that gets done in the app that I'm going to send whatever text.
Whatever goes into notepad for me will either get deleted, go into notepad++, or whatever app I'm going to send it (office).
Sounds like you could benefit from replacing WordPad with Notepad++.
Regularly
Wow really? What for? I've seriously never heard of or seen somebody use it.
When I need to copy something from instructions out of a doc file, so much faster to open copy and close before word even opens
Oh yeah I'm not saying use word. Notepad++ or the native sticky notes are both good alternatives for WordPad.
Fair point, I do use n++ a lot
