I Recently Uninstalled My Word Pad,And Have No Recovery Discs.Can I Retrieve Word pad Without Having To Pay.

First go to:

• Start
  
• Run
  
• Type in wordpad

If Wordpad opens you have just deleted the shortcut. Let me know if this is the case.

If not, go to the following link http://www.rowancabarrus.edu/downloads/, at the very bottom is a link to download Wordpad.

He has posted this in Linux. I would assume it is for Linux?

sorry i'm new i dont know what linux is...yes wordpad is completely move,thanks e-mu i'll check that link out.

Topic moved.

I take it from your profile info pumpkinhead that your using Windows XP?

Please say now if your not....

Hi,thanks for sending me that link on how to get wordpad.i downloaded it,but when i try to open the document that i saved it says the file does not have a programme associated with it for performing this action.create an association in the folder options.
i found folder options but dont have a clue what next..thanks...

Also please reply only in the topic and not through PM, this is so that if another member has the same issue they can see all the comments and posts.

The download itself is an .exe file so it should run without asking you to select another application to run it. When downloading it try saving it to a folder in your documents
I have just tried it myself and it worked fine.

Thanks E-mu,ok i'm getting the hang of this now.

No worries.

You got it working now?

Yes it does work,although everytime i use it Ive to run it.And heres a document i tried titled Hello,and got all this ..Any tips please on how to stop that appearing.

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 Hello.\par
}

ok Ive resolved the running of it,silly me hadn't checked the box that says ask me every time.

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 Hello.\par
}

Are you having this issue when creating a document and saving it or when you open a document that has already been saved by summit else.

What type of document is it?

When i open a document it has all that letters as above..the document is just a trial of words like Hello,just to see if it works.

Do you have the install disk for Microsoft Office/Word?

no i dont have disc.
