    word to wordpad


    The Word documents are showing up as .doc rather than .docx. I followed your suggestion, but when I tried to open the document I got the same song and dance from Microsoft, specifically, "Buy Microsoft Word". There must be some way out of this dilemma. Microsoft has hijacked all my documents and is holding them for ransom.

    word to wordpad


    It seems quite common these days that new PCs come with Word as the default association for documents as a 'advert' to try and get you to buy Word. It is easy to change the default association to Wordpad.

    Wordpad files will not allow write permission.

    Converting documents from word pad to microsoft word

    Windows 10 did NOT "convert" your documents from Word to Wordpad.

    Do you have Word installed?
