How do I fix my Wordpad document?

Hi Annabeth,

There are different factors that can contribute as to why the text in your WordPad application turns transparent. One possibility is that the file got corrupted when the computer was shut down unexpectedly. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the
questions below:

• Were there any error messages that showed up when you attempted to open the document in WordPad?
• Have you attempted to open the WordPad document in a different application such as Notepad to verify if the same issue occurs?
• We would like to verify also what troubleshooting steps have you already completed and what were the results?
• Which version and build of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?

We look forward to your response to our queries.

 

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.
