Thus ending our long national nightmare of accidentally opening things in WordPad on a fresh install.
Thus ending our long national nightmare of accidentally opening things in WordPad on a fresh install.
Tbf I haven’t used wordpad for a very long time. If ever.
I avoid it because if I’m editing a text file wordpad would just mess it up.
Maybe if it’s an rtf file I need wordpad.
But word is available.
Not for me. It’s just too expensive for a task that I very rarely need and there are good free alternatives (like Wordpad - though that’s not the one I use personally).
Microsoft wants you to use Word online. It’s free if you have a Microsoft account, like Google Docs is.
You can’t associate local docx or rtf files with Word online, though, which they really should’ve done before nuking their preinstalled docx editor.
