What is the difference between Notepad and

WordPad?
Answer: Both programs are text editors that are included with
the Windows operating system. Notepad is the most basic text editor, which
allows you to open and create text files. While you can create several paragraphs
of text with Notepad, using line breaks (by pressing the Enter key), the program
does not give you text formatting options. For example, you cannot change
the font size or make the text bold.
WordPad is similar to Notepad, but gives you more formatting options. You can
use bold and italics formatting, and change the font, size, and color of the text.
You can also create bulleted lists and center and justify paragraphs. WordPad
allows you to save documents as either basic text (.TXT) files or rich text format
(.RTF) files. Saving a document in the rich text format will keep all the
formatting you have done to the text, while saving it as a basic text file will
remove all text formatting from the document.
Notepad is a good choice for creating webpages (HTML documents) and
writing scripts or basic computer programs, since these types of documents do
not require any text formatting. It is also useful for removing formatting from
text that you have copied and want to paste somewhere else as plain text. Just
paste the text into Notepad, copy it again from Notepad, and you have
completely unformatted text.
WordPad is a good choice for writing papers or creating documents that you
want to print. It is also great for making lists, since it supports bullets. You can
use WordPad to open an unformatted text document and add whatever
formatting you want. If you want even more formatting options and a more
user-friendly interface, you can use a program such as Microsoft Word.
