How can I import Notepad into Wordpad???

[Guest]

I stupidly thought there was only Notepad on my Laptop so typed out a whole article only to discover there is Wordpad , but now I cannot get it to copy and paste so I can put it into Wordpad any ideas please ???

What happens when you try to copy, Val? Can you not highlight all the text and right-click on it then copy?

[KiteRunner]

Or alternatively, can you right-click on the saved file and select "Open with" then choose Wordpad as the program to use?

In Notepad ..............File, save as ,


change "save as type" to "all Files"


give file a name with dot doc on the end............ in the file name box


eg

myfile.doc (all this goes in the file name box)


this will save it as a word doc



Hope this helps

Try CTRL + A, that will highlight everything on the page.

For future reference there is no need to cut & paste etc. unless you wish to insert the file into another previously created document.

Simply open Wordpad, then open the file required.
