    Wordpad/Microsoft Word Documents


    I have recently updated my windows 10 and I tried to open Wordpad, I get a popup saying "Unable to create new document" And when I look under the Wordpad arrows for my saved documents the icon is missing and if I try to open one it says "The item selected is unavailable. It make have be moved, removed, or renamed. Do you want to remove it from the list?"
    I have right clicked 'Properties' and is says it opens with Microsoft Word and is an RTF file .rtf
    Does this mean Worpad is no longer usable? Do I have to use Microsoft Word now? And should I remove these un-openable Wordpad files from the list under Wordpad App?

    :)

    word to wordpad

    The Word documents are showing up as .doc rather than .docx. I followed your suggestion, but when I tried to open the document I got the same song and dance from Microsoft, specifically, "Buy Microsoft Word". There must be some way out of this dilemma. Microsoft has hijacked all my documents and is holding them for ransom.

    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 . . .
