Hello Riana, thanks for your nice explanation. I just read it after I replied to Terry's message. To your (and the other's) additional information: WordPad does not only deal with text files (*.txt), but also with Rich Text files j(*.rtf) and even Word documents, if they are written in a Word version prior to Word 2002. It depends on your Windows version whether it will allow you to SAVE your documents as DOC files (*.doc). This is only possible with the WordPad versions of Windows 9x, and there they are stored as Word 6.0/95 files (*.doc) by default. Windows XP WordPad saves documents as Rich Text by default. Hope this helps. Thomas
