I would check the Windows XP installation CD. Look for wordpad.*.

Have a look on your machine. The executable is in the Accessories
folder but the .chm file is usually where the OP expects it to be.

Ooops! .chm went right over my head.

Just to clarify: wordpad.chm should be in c:\windows\help with all the other
help files, but isn't there or anywhere else on the computer. Maybe someone
could send me a copy of it or tell where I could download it

Did you look on your WinXP CD, as I suggested?

What do you mean with "did not work"? Here is an extract from my
WinXP CD:
F:\>dir /s wordpad.*
Volume in drive F is XRMPFPP_EN
Volume Serial Number is CA65-734F
Directory of F:\I386
Thu 29/08/2002 14:00 25,620 WORDPAD.CH_
Thu 29/08/2002 14:00 74,426 WORDPAD.EX_
Thu 29/08/2002 14:00 4,500 WORDPAD.HL_
Thu 29/08/2002 14:00 2,134 WORDPAD.IN_
4 File(s) 106,680 bytes
Wordpad.ch_ is clearly visible. You simply need to expand it.

Reset to zero. What is your problem? Wordpad is an optional program with XP.
Is it installed on your system?
If you do a search does if find a shortcut you can click on?

Very simple:
expand.exe e:\i386\wordpad.ch_ c:\windows\help\wordpad.chm
To get help on commands such as expand.exe, type this at the
Command Prompt:
expand /?
expand.exe e:\i386\wordpad.ch_ c:\windows\help\wordpad.chm
