You're reading that right. WordPad isn't just for writing letters anymore. With a few tweaks and additions, it can be used to create everything from simple presentations to fully formatted papers. It's also one of the most popular free word processors out there, so it's great for people who want to try something new without spending too much money.
Let's take a quick look at some of the latest features and changes in WordPad.
The best part about WordPad is that it gives you a fully customizable writing experience. Not only can you change the colors, but you can add and remove buttons, tiles, and entire toolbars to suit your needs. Plus, you can take advantage of all the latest features without needing to spend a dime.
If you prefer a minimalist look, you can remove all the extra tiles and buttons to give the app a clean look. If bold typeface is more your style, you can enable that option from the toolbar. If you need a little extra space, you can increase the text size, which will make words more visible. You can even add a glossary or a thesaurus to the app if you're looking for words that aren't in the dictionary.
WordPad 7 has a couple of new layout options that can help you create professional-looking documents quickly and easily. The first one is the Cover Page option. This will put a header or a footer on each page of your document with the page number at the bottom. The second one is the Dedication Page option, which puts a title and some text at the top of each page followed by a list of acknowledgments at the bottom. The choice between the two is up to you.
If you need to create a presentation, you can use the new Slide option. This will give you the ability to add photos, charts, and other content to your slides. As a result, your documents will look more presentable and will save you a lot of time.
One of the best things about WordPad is how it handles words and phrases. If you need a word or a phrase in a hurry, you can just type it in and you'll get a pop-up suggesting possible alternatives. This is a great time-saving feature because it means you won't need to search the dictionary for the right word. Also, if you make a mistake while typing, the app can suggest correct words or phrases as you go.
While the previous version of WordPad handled combining words pretty well, 7 now does it better. Not only can you create entire phrases using the auto-completion feature, you can also multiply characters to see a variety of combinations.
