    I just use libreoffice or vim for general text stuff I haven’t used WordPad in 28 years. Was it ever able to edit Ms word documents? I feel like there was a reason I didn’t use it.

      Believe it dealt in rich text format rtf by default, think it was too limited for docx but I’m open to being corrected
