Windows 10: Using Notepad to write a simple letter.

I am trying to write a simple letter using Notepad. I do not have MSWord etc. anymore. I may write 2 letters a year and it's not cost-effective.


I am trying to format sentences so they wrap around. The sentences get broken apart thru several lines. tried word wrap.


Any suggestions?

:)

Windows comes with two programs that will help you do this.

Notepad is a very rudimentary program. It is primarily useful for writing notes (!), shopping lists, and the like, but you could use it to write a very simple letter.

WordPad has a few more features, including the ability to select fonts, insert images, and other simple word processor tasks. WordPad should be more than sufficient for writing a letter.

To start either program, click Start, type the name (Notepad or WordPad) in the Search box, and press Enter.

To print from WordPad, click the blue menu button at the upper left corner and then select Print:
