Windows 7 comes bundled with a basic text editing program called WordPad. You can consider it as a light version of Microsoft Word and more advanced than other text editors such as NotePad. WordPad enables you to create, edit, view, and print text documents. It helps you type memos, reports, and other simple documents. In this article I will show you where to find WordPad, how to work with the new interface, create & save a new document in WordPad and how to print it.
WordPad Comparison: Windows 7 Version vs. Others
WordPad is included in almost all versions of Microsoft Windows from Windows 95 onwards. The application has always come in very handy as a quick and easy to use text editor for documents.
In older WordPad versions you could see a menus and buttons based interface. The application had two toolbars: the Standard toolbar and the Formatting one, each with its set of buttons for commonly used commands.
The new version of WordPad is even more friendly due to the new and exciting feature called theribbon bar, which was first introduced with Microsoft Office 2007.
