minus-squarePutangInaMo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32·1 year agoIt’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.
minus-squarePutangInaMo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoHonestly 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++.
minus-squarePutangInaMo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoWow really? What for? I’ve seriously never heard of or seen somebody use it.
minus-squarebemenaker@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoWhen I need to copy something from instructions out of a doc file, so much faster to open copy and close before word even opens
minus-squarePutangInaMo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoOh yeah I’m not saying use word. Notepad++ or the native sticky notes are both good alternatives for WordPad.
