    this is a follow up to someone telling me here:

    that I should use wordpad if I want to type text like inputs to a typewriter. well it is not working the way it should. I type the first line, press spacebar twice, then type second line, then highlight want I want and align it as I see fit. *all* the text comes along for the ride. is that correct? I don't think it should be. I tried this first, before the other suggestions in the last article. Am I making a mistake or treating the program in a way that it shouldn't be treated? that's all I need to know first, thanks. I think I'm doing what I was told to do.

    WordPad issue

    I like to suggest you some steps as per my last experience follow these:
    Click -> Start menu -> type ‘WordPad' in the taskbar-> search and click on the result. -> open WordPad.
    If you’re find difficulty to open WordPad,
    the Press -> Windows + R key -> type ‘Write’ -> hit enter.
    You will WordPad application launching on the
    screen.
    or
    Navigate this path C:\windows\system32\ you will see a ‘write’ (File).
    The application is here now.

  3. wordpad notepad

    hi

    I went to use WordPad today but am unable to find it in apps. Scrolling down the list it doesn't list notepad or WordPad as an app. I tried to ask Cortana to open it by saying "open WordPad" all I get as a response is her say open what app. looking at the
    speechbox it seems to recognise what I am saying I couldn't get her to open any apps try calculator as well . She did suggest sites on how to open WordPad. In the end I went through file explorer and found a shortcut to WordPad but why isn't it listed as an
    app ?
