Windows 10: [HELP] Wordpad Document Blank?

I was working on a document in Wordpad and then my laptop screen went black.. not sure why. So I force restarted my laptop and then when it booted up, I re-opened the document that I was working on and now it's blank. I know that the space occupied by the text I had before is still there, because I can scroll quite a bit and the file size is 31.5kb so there's definitely stuff in the document. It's just blank. My screen has went black before and I've force-restarted it before but I've never lost any documents or anything as a result. Does anybody know if there's a way to fix this or recover what I lost? I was going to do a system restore but those don't restore any documents, from my understanding.

WordPad documents won't print

Windows 8.1, Canon Pixma MG6821 wireless printer, everything, ANYthing, prints correctly EXCEPT "WordPad" documents, attempting to print from WordPad FILES or from Documents, printer just cycles a blank page. I've tried POSSIBLY everything EXCEPT correct
solution, which I evidently haven't yet found and/or attempted. Helpful suggestions to allow me to print my WordPad documents will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, ~ Robert (age 82 not very tech savy senior)

 

Wordpad documents being saved to Word

Hi Mike

If RTF documents are opening in Word:

Right click an RTF document, choose 'Open With' - Choose Another App

Important - Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open xxx . . .'

If Wordpad is not in the list, scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

Wordpad should be in that list . . .

Choosing Wordpad form one of those lists will reset the file associations on RTF documents and they should then automatically open in Wordpad . . .

 

word documents saved as wordpad documents


Use 'Save as' and choose from the list of options.
