    Honestly, this blows. WordPad fills a niche between a full blown text editor and notepad. Most of my random daily notes use WordPad still when not OneNote.

        That’s an alternative to Notepad, not for Wordpad that has basic word processing formatting.

      I recently started using a markdown based note taking program called Joplin, that might be useful for you

      I don’t get why they aren’t retiring notepad instead. WordPad is just as light and fast while having more features.

      Not that I really care, I never touch either ever since MS basically stopped developing them 25 years ago. Notepad++, atom, etc, there are so many superb lightweight editors out there.

        Notepad is absolutely a fantastic tool for stripping any formatting from text and loading a file exactly how you expect it. Like vim only without the easy to use shortcuts.
