    Home tab on Wordpad ribbon


    Hi.

    Just had a Windows 10 update which has resurrected WordPad as a cheap & cheerful 'simple' text editor. I quite used to enjoy using earlier version, mainly for its simplicity of use.

    This latest incarnation Win 10 v1909, however, doesn't let me access the 'HOME' tab on the ribbon.

    Has anyone any ideas, please?

    Regards, Pete

    :)

    Windows 10 Wordpad

    • Open Wordpad.
    • In the Font group of the ribbon, choose a font style and font size. I'm partial to Calibri 11.
    • In the Paragraph group of the ribbon, look for the icon in the top right corner that has arrows pointing up and down. Those are your line spacing choices.

    MINIMIZE THE RIBBON

    Windows 7 itself doesn't have a "ribbon." Perhaps you're referring to Microsoft Office 2007 or later (Microsoft Paint and WordPad also use the "ribbon" interface).

    You can minimize (or restore) the ribbon in Office, Paint, and WordPad by pressing CTRL+F1.

    In Office apps (including Word, Excel, etc.) you also can right-click on the ribbon and select "Minimize the ribbon." In Office apps, you can restore the ribbon by clicking the "View" menu to temporarily see the ribbon, then right-clicking and de-selecting
    "Minimize the ribbon."

    Home tab on Wordpad ribbon

    wordpad notepad

    hi

    I went to use WordPad today but am unable to find it in apps. Scrolling down the list it doesn't list notepad or WordPad as an app. I tried to ask Cortana to open it by saying "open WordPad" all I get as a response is her say open what app. looking at the
    speechbox it seems to recognise what I am saying I couldn't get her to open any apps try calculator as well . She did suggest sites on how to open WordPad. In the end I went through file explorer and found a shortcut to WordPad but why isn't it listed as an
    app ?
