Word Pad

[THOS AMP FERRAZZANO]

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the correct group for this problem. I had
saved some documents using Word Pad,
but now I am suddenly getting the message "can not load
Word for Windows 6.0 files" when I try to open them.
I have never used Word for Windows 6.0. I have Windows XP sp2. Any help
would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

Try right-clicking the file, choose "open with", then select wordpad from
the program list.

Hello,
I tried what you suggested, and still got the same message and could
not open it. I did try Microsoft Works Word Processor and that did open it.
Thank you.
