Hi Alex,
Wordpad was/is the first word processor introduced by MS, and at the time Word
Perfect was the word processor of choice, used almost exclusively by businesses.
Through time MS has made Word into the word processor of choice for work,
schooling, and home. Now it is based on Styles, and has been integrated into
HTML for the internet. But it has competition from Adobe Acrobat, Star Office by
Sun Microsystems, and still Word Perfect, now owned by Corel. There are many
other crosses by between Notepad, Word, and such as Frontpage, MS knowing the
future is hinged to the Internet.
I hope this is what you wanted to know. Word is the program of choice and
Wordpad is the basic default by MS to read and very restrictedly edit or compose
Word (rich text format) type files. In my opinion Wordpad is not as good as many
3rd party programs, and to me, Acrobat is a very good document format for form
and especially for internet documentation. I believe Adobe has a lock on
creating image type files for word processing high quality end product and much
easier to cross the wires of the internet. That's due to the backed in way that
HTML was created. Much better all the way around to have an image on the
internet than tarry over trying to use HTML to create something that is supposed
to look like an image for internet presentation. End of subject. (One man's
opinion)
