You must have seen a WordPad application on your computer if you use the Windows system. It has been present in every version of Windows OS for the last 30 years. But now, the company will remove this app from the Windows operating system. It is a free basic word processor app for those who do not know what this app does.
In this, you can create articles or other projects. In a way, the advanced version of WordPad is Microsoft Word. Microsoft first released WordPad in 1995.
The company said in an official note that WordPad is no longer being updated and will be removed in a future release of Windows. Instead of this app, the company advises users to use Microsoft Word for rich text files like .doc and .rtf and Windows Notepad for normal text files like .txt.
Let us tell you, some time ago, Microsoft added many new capabilities to its free-tier Notepad, which includes tab auto-save and auto-restore. Apart from this, you can open multiple tabs at the same time. However, unlike WordPad, Notepad does not support more reach documents; here, you can create only text documents. If you want to work on large files, then you should take the help of Microsoft Word.
Last Time, The Company Gave This Big Update In WordPad
The last time the company gave a significant update to the WordPad application was in Windows OS 7. Then, the company issued a futuristic look by changing the old UI to Ribbon UI. Currently, the company is working on a new OS for Windows computers. The company may launch Windows 12 in 2024 if reports are to be believed.
