wordpad for vista?

Likeafinewine69 · 02-22-2008, 10:51 PM

I keep getting the microsoft office word instead of the actual wordpad I had with XP. Is there a download I can do to get the normal wordpad that I used to have so I dont have to deal with the office version of this? If so, where do I go to get it and do I just put it into the programs and install so that it will work with my emails etc.???? Please help if you can. Thanks.

what do you mean you keep getting word? check your file association for your documents.

check accessories and see if you aleady have wordpad

And also try to right click on the wordpad file you have, and choose the wordpad from the Open with list

Try to save the file first, and then open it with wordpad. Try not to open directly from the email
