  2. Excel documents converting to Notepad

    In Windows 10, when I attempt to open an excel file, it opens with Notepad not Excel rendering the document useless. I don't get the "open with" prompt when I right click on an .xls document.

    Excel documents converting to Notepad

    Open the Settings App, go to System - Default Apps, then at the bottom click 'Choose Defaults by App'

    In the Resulting Window, in the left list click Excel, then bottom right click 'Choose defaults for this Program', at the top of the window click the box to select all, save this setting and close all windows.

    Now when you double click an excel file it should automatically open in Excel

    I Hope this Helps!

    how can edit the format of documents in notepad

    Hi Ramon,

    We understand that you'd like to edit the format of documents using Notepad application.

    If you're trying to open an Office document like Word or Excel using Notepad, be informed that since the app only detect pure text, it will lose all the format and objects originally came with the document.

    You can follow these steps to open a document in Notepad:

    1. Right-click the document file.

    2. Select Open With, and select Notepad. If not its not on the list, click
    Choose another app.

    3. Select Notepad, and click OK.

    Kindly post back if you have further concerns.
