    How can I exit Wordpad without saving the current document?


    When I use Wordpad in Windows 10 the document is automatically saved on exit in its final form. I save as I go along but want to meddle with the document but discard the changes so that the document kept is the last one saved, not the final mangled version.

    :)

    Wordpad documents being saved to Word

    Hi Mike

    If RTF documents are opening in Word:

    Right click an RTF document, choose 'Open With' - Choose Another App

    Important - Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open xxx . . .'

    If Wordpad is not in the list, scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

    Wordpad should be in that list . . .

    Choosing Wordpad form one of those lists will reset the file associations on RTF documents and they should then automatically open in Wordpad . . .

    word documents saved as wordpad documents


    I am using Word 2013 on my laptop. Windows 8 was operating system. Recently upgraded to Windows 10. When I save Word documents now, they are saved as Wordpad documents. (.xml files) Wordpad does not recommend some of the Word formatting and alters the documents.

    How do I correct this? I want the save as Word documents, as I did in the past.

    Thank you.
