WordPad issues

[Michael]

Whenever I save a 5 page document (for example) in continues table format.
Say for example, in two columns, WordPad will only print the top copy. In
print preview, it can displays one page at a time.

Other documents not in table or column format display fine in print preview,
but find in the ordinary WordPad template, that the text is all over the
place.

Right now, I have been asked to type notes given on a course that I am
undertaking right now. The contact has set this up in table format.
Following on from here, she has saved the contents in Microsoft Word. Is
this the norm for WordPad to behave this way?

In addition to the above. I cannot get 'Help' to display in WordPad. By
the way, this feature was missing from Windows following a system upgrade a
few months back.

WordPad is not a full featured word processor. You should invest in Microsoft Word if that is the
word processor the instructor is using. If you cannot afford Word (look for MS Works Suite in your
local stores as it has Word and will be the lowest cost version you can get), then consider getting
OpenOffice off the web. It is free, but a large download, and will open, save and generally match
MS Word in features.
