WordPad Description
WordPad is a text-editing program that allows you to create and edit text files, insert pictures and add links to other files. WordPad can open and save text files, rich text files, Word documents (.docx), OpenDocument text file (.odt), and Word documents (.txt). Files in other formats may not open as plain text files. WordPad doesn't support certain features like annotations, headers, footers and footers. WordPad will not allow you to open files with these features. You can save the file with a new name if you need to make changes to such a file. This allows you to make changes to a copy of the file, but keeps the original content intact.

Undervalued Date: Feb 09 2024
Summary: It's a great free tool for note taking and writing something without intending to print it out. But compared to word it of course seriously lacks features but the price difference is very compelling.
Most people compare it to word but you really should compare it to notepad.Positive: It comes free with windows and is perfect for just writing something down or taking notes. It also seems to really be meant for writing (without printing) since it doesn't format into A4 papers.
Negative: It doesn't have all the features of word and most annoying it doesn't show the shortcuts for the features. Still don't know how to increase/decrease the indent without needing to stop typing and click the button.

NEEDS SOURCE OF "HOW TO" INFORMATION Date: Mar 13 2022
Summary: I'm just very frustrated right now after trying for 2 days to find out how to type a business address on an envelope.
Positive: Came with my new computer, so I didn't have to pay for it. I only needed to occasionally type a letter or a document, and it serves my purpose for that.
Negative: I have been unable to find out how to type an address on an envelope! Doesn't do me a lot of good to type a business letter when I can't type an official looking envelope for it! Needs a source to search for information with "How To" instructions!

Frustrated as hell Date: Dec 06 2022
Summary: There are no words for my frustration with WordPad and the inability to use it with existing Word documents. I cannot format, I cannot even find the tools for formatting. I have wasted several precious hours trying to figure out how to even insert a page break or set margins. Why did Windows 11 give us this new form of word processing? If my computer weren't so expensive, it would literally be thrown out the window and smashed in the driveway below.
Positive: Nothing. There are no pros.
Negative: There isn't anything to like about WordPad. Nothing is good so everything is bad. I cannot figure out how to use it so isn't that a con enough. We were conned into getting this feature when there was an updated to Windows 11. Thank you very little!
