Your web page says "Contact Us" but you don't provide a way to do it, other
than discussion groups or your web page. Maybe someone will respond to this
since Microsoft won't
I am trying to save a WordPad documnt but when I retrieve it, it comes up
all scrambled and not in the format in which I saved it. It comes up as
Microsoft Word. Please tell me how to save a WordPad document and have it
look the same as I saved it. This is an amateur question compared to those I
read.
Thank you,
Patricia Tidey

Hi Patricia,

The file format for saving in WordPad is Rich Text Format (RTF). By
default, when you install Office, Word grabs the responsibility for
opening RTF files when you double-click them in Explorer.

You can use the File > Open command in WordPad to open the document
instead of going through Explorer. What you'd probably prefer, though,
is to change the association in Explorer so that double-clicking opens
WordPad.

To do that, open Explorer and click Tools > Folder Options. Click the
File Types tab. Wait for the list to appear, then scroll down and
click RTF. Below the list, where it says "Opens with Microsoft Word",
click the Change button. In the next dialog, click WordPad in the list
and click the OK button. Close the Folder Options dialog, and try
double-clicking one of your documents -- it should come up in WordPad.
 
Hi Patricia,

And to your remark about "Contact us":
Mails to Microsoft and feedback via online forms usually were ignored.
Postings to this newsgroups are public, and there is even a slim chance that
Microsoft employees will reply to them. I'd regard this as an improvement.

Regards,
Klaus
