Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.

I would suggest you that may also try saving a different file and check if you face any issue.

I would also suggest to follow these steps:

1. In Windows, click the “Start” button. In the search field, type the name of the document as you remember it. See if the file you’re looking for shows up.

2. Type in the file format you saved it as. It’s most likely you saved it as a Rich Text Format file, which is WordPad’s default file type. Type “*.rtf” in the search field. This will bring up all RTF files on your computer. You can also try .docx, .otf and
.txt. Make sure to type the asterisk to signify a file extension.

3. Check the Recycle Bin. On your desktop, click the “Recycle Bin” icon. Open it up and check to see if you deleted your WordPad file by accident. Select the item and click “Restore This Item.”

4. Check temporary files. Search for “*.TMP.”

Tips & Warnings

• If none of these methods work, your WordPad document is probably permanently deleted and you should rewrite the document. It’s a good idea to save often and take note of where your document is saved. Also, make a copy of your document and save it on an external
flash drive.


Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to

Thank you

 

Microsoft Wordpad Missing Docx Save Type

Hello All, I have been having some issues with WordPad recently. I use WordPad to edit and save my CV/Resume. Once saved I upload the file to company job and career web sites to make a job application.

Recently for some reason when I go to file and save the file type doc is missing. I can only see Text Document, Text Document - MS DOS, and Unicode Text Document. No sign or display of docx. Worst of all none of the web sites support these file formats so
I am unable to upload.

Does anyone know why it has suddenly gone missing and how I can fix this? Any suggestions I would appreciate to hear from you.

Many Thanks
