It's word pad though, do you really ever use it? I use notepad for a quick temp fix in a pinch, I haven't used word pad in like 15 years.

    Honestly if I need to format, that gets done in the app that I'm going to send whatever text.

    Whatever goes into notepad for me will either get deleted, go into notepad++, or whatever app I'm going to send it (office).

    Sounds like you could benefit from replacing WordPad with Notepad++.

    Wow really? What for? I've seriously never heard of or seen somebody use it.

    When I need to copy something from instructions out of a doc file, so much faster to open copy and close before word even opens
