I always thought wordpad was underappreciated
Should replace it with a markdown editor
“The company now suggests the Microsoft Word app as a replacement for WordPad users”
uh no, libreoffice works great, thanks for the suggestion tho.
I wonder if someone will package an installer with it like they did for other classic windows apps like minesweeper and chess, maybe it’ll even be added to that specific Installer. Guess only time will tell.
Wordpad always felt like a transitional between Notepad and Office, but for the average person, the transitional wasn’t needed. If you wanted no frills, notepad was right there. If you needed extras why not just use Office just in case you needed more extras then you thought?
Of course now I use Notepad++ instead of notepad so it fills the Notepad and Wordpad spots.
That kinda blows. I won’t pretend I was making heavy use of it when I used to use Windows or anything, but definitely I’d bust it open on occasion when I wanted something with mild enough rich text formatting, but felt LibreOffice Writer felt overkill for whatever I was doing.
notepad++
Notepad++ doesn’t have any form of formatting though, so it’s like underkill for the few narrow things I’d use WordPad for
what sort of formatting?
Bolding, italicizing, I think lists and headers I recall being a thing too
