Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Honestly if I need to format, that gets done in the app that I'm going to send whatever text.
Whatever goes into notepad for me will either get deleted, go into notepad++, or whatever app I'm going to send it (office).
Sounds like you could benefit from replacing WordPad with Notepad++.
