File types used by the WordPad editor.

WordPad can work with the following four file types:

· Text. This file type contains only printable alphanumeric characters, including marks and punctuation. Such files are also called ASCII files. They do not contain any paragraph or character formatting. WordPad can read and save files in this format.

· Word file(Word). This file type is used to store documents in Word editor format. WordPad can open documents created using any of the Word versions for Windows, and save only in Word 6 format. However, when importing files created by the Word editor for Windows into WordPad, some formatting may be lost, for example, the arrangement of text in several columns. Document templates are also lost.

· File Write (Write). Write - a text editor - was included in Windows 3.x. You can open documents in WordPad that were created with this editor, but you cannot save files in Write format.

· RTF (Rich text Format) file. The RTF format is a standard format for saving text documents with character and paragraph formatting. The RTF format can be used to transfer files between different text editors. You can for example create a document using Word program Perfect, and save it as an RTF file, then open it and work with it using WordPad. WordPad can read and save documents in RTF format.

Like most application programs For Windows Word Pad supports working with the clipboard. You can copy text and graphics from other applications into WordPad. You can also select the Insert, Object commands to insert objects OLE type, such as a spreadsheet, into a WordPad document.

Greetings, friends! Today even a novice user cannot do without a text editor. The Windows operating system, which is probably installed on your computer, already has two simple text editors: Notepad and Wordpad. If the first one is only for typing and saving plain text, then the second one already provides you with the ability to format text and decorate it with pictures. Therefore, in this article you will learn how to use WordPad.

Today in any operating system for personal computers programs open as rectangular windows. These windows have virtually the same controls. These are buttons and menus. Let's look at their functions and purpose using the Wordpad text editor as an example.

Basic Wordpad Tools

After the release of the office suite from Microsoft version 2007, toolbars began to be made in the form of a ribbon. Starting from operating system version Windows Vista, Wordpad and graphics editor Paint also acquired this arrangement of tools. In the figure below, you can see that the ribbon is presented in the form of two tabs Home and View. Tools are grouped.

Wordpad appearance window

Buttons in the menu, why there are so many of them and how to use them in Wordpad. How to learn to work with them in Wordpad. So, everything is in order.

Main menu

Let's look at the menu item for working with a document file.

menu for working with a document

Item Create

This command creates new document (Blank sheet). Shortcuts teams CTRL +N.

Note! If you already had the document open before creation and you made corrections to it, a window will appear.

Window asking you to save the document

Save the information if necessary or click Don't save. Then you have it all last changes in the previous document will be erased. And a new one will open before you blank document. Now you can start entering text.

When editing text, you can use two modes: Insert and Replace. These modes are switched with the key Insert on keyboard. In the first mode, Insert, the entered text in a line expands it, and in the second case, it replaces already typed characters. Unfortunately, these modes are not displayed in the status bar, as in Microsoft Word.

Item Open

This command opens a previously created document. Command shortcuts CTRL +O.

By selecting this command, you need to specify the file to open in the dialog box.

Opening a document

Note! There are two ways to open a file from the dialog box: double click by file name or select it with one click and press the button Open.

Item Save

This command saves our document on the computer or external media(flash drive). Command shortcuts CTRL +S.

When you save a document for the first time, a dialog box appears similar to the window when opening a file, but there is a difference.

Saving a document

Note! By default, your document will be saved in RTF format, but if you need a different one, remember to first select it from the drop-down list File type. And then press the button Save.

Item Save as...

This command saves our document on a computer or external storage device (flash drive) with a new name. Wherein old version the document remains unchanged. This is very convenient when creating template texts that have slight differences. Also this command allows you to save a document in a format other than the original one.

Item Print

After completing work on a document, it is often necessary to obtain a paper copy of it. The command for this is Seal. Command shortcuts CTRL +P. If you have a printer connected to your computer, then using this command you can print a document. But before you put it on paper, you can do Preview.

In Wordpad, there is no way to insert a page break during the editing process or see its end and the beginning of a new one. Therefore, in preview mode, you can visually evaluate how the editor will divide your document into pages. An important factor in this case will be the page settings settings. By the way, it has such an opportunity

In this mode, you can see how the text of the document will be located on the pages when printed. This mode allows you to avoid unnecessary waste of paper and paint and promptly correct inaccuracies in the location of text and drawings in the document. Here you can set the viewing type: one page or two pages. If you have more pages, you can turn them over.

Window Preview

Exit viewing mode using the button Close preview window.

Item Page Settings

Everyone should have fields. You can configure them in the menu Page settings. Typically the following fields are specified:

Left -20 mm, right - 15 mm, top - 20 mm, bottom -20 mm

Standard size A4 ( album sheet). And the orientation of the sheet is its location. Book- the upper side is narrow, landscape- the top side is wide.

Setting Page Options in WordPad

For a multi-page document it is convenient to use automatic insertion numbers at the bottom of the page.

Item Exit

Quit working with Wordpad and close the document.

Home tab

This tab contains everything necessary tools for editing texts.

Toolbar

In the Clipboard group we see buttons for performing operations with text fragments: copying, deleting and pasting.

Next is the Font group. Here already more tools. I have highlighted the following tools with a blue frame (from left to right): changing the font typeface, font size, then two buttons, also for changing the font towards increasing or decreasing its size.

Below in the red frame are the following tools (from left to right):

• F - makes the font bolder relative to the main text
• K - converts characters to italic (oblique) form
• H - underlines characters
• crossed out letters - crossed out text
• the next two buttons allow you to make characters subscript and superscript, which is very convenient to use for writing indices of quantities or powers of numbers
• a felt-tip pen is a text highlighter that makes a colored background behind the text
• character color - changes the font color to any available in the drop-down list (triangle next to the button)

The Paragraph group contains the following tools:

• working with lists (highlighted with a green frame): increasing and decreasing the indentation of a paragraph or list, creating a bulleted list.
• line spacing(button to the right of the green frame)
• a group of tools for aligning text within a paragraph (highlighted with a black frame). Last button in this frame opens a separate window for setting all of the paragraph settings listed plus the first line indent.

The insert group implements minimal functionality for adding external objects to a text document. I think the button icons are intuitive and don't require any further explanation. IN local version this editor There is no way to insert tables into a document, but such functionality is implemented.

Home tab continuation of wordpad toolbar

The last group on this tab, Edit, contains only three commands for working with text: squeak, replace, and select all text.

View tab

View tab

As the name of the tab implies, tools for changing the display of a document in the editor window are collected here. The Scale group contains buttons for increasing or decreasing the visible area of ​​the sheet. The scale can also be controlled using the slider in the lower right part of the editor window (status bar). The Show or Hide and Options groups are intuitive.

Even if you have difficulty understanding a setting, place your mouse cursor over the name or image of the tool. Hold it in place for a few seconds and you'll see a tooltip pop up explaining what the tool does.

Ruler - paragraph setting

You can use the ruler tools to format paragraphs in WordPad. Let's look at them in more detail.

WordPad ruler

There are two zones on the ruler: gray and white. The gray area is the area of ​​the vertical margins of the document. No text is printed in the margins. The border of the right margin in the figure is marked with a blue dotted line - mark 4. You can change the borders in Page settings(see above).

Changing the text boundaries is only available within the white scale. Using markers 1 and 3, the boundaries of the text are set relative to the vertical boundaries of the document fields.

Attention! Changes are applied to the current paragraph containing text cursor. If you need to make changes to several paragraphs, you must first select them. Use hotkeys to select all text CTRL+A.

To change the indentation of the first line of a paragraph (red line), move marker 2 in the desired direction along the ruler.

Pay attention to marker 1. He is composite. Top part(triangle) when moved causes a change in the text indentation from the border of the right margin of the document and at the same time changes the indentation of the red line. If you drag the bottom part (rectangle), only the distance from the border of the left margin of the document changes.

We discussed above basic commands main menu. But it’s inconvenient to run after them with the mouse every time, so we’ll set up a quick command call. Let's place shortcut buttons on the toolbar.

To do this, you need to call the setting by clicking the drop-down menu button.

And check the boxes next to the items as in the picture.

Setting up the panel quick access

Now we will have easy access to button commands

So, let's summarize. We looked at the basic menu commands that are present in any application. Their purpose is the same in a text editor, a graphics editor, or any other program. The ability to use and customize the quick access panel is also a necessary thing to speed up our work with the editor. Well, it won’t be superfluous to add to your computer experience. I hope this post will teach you how to use Wordpad with the confidence of an advanced user.

PS: Interesting Facts

Dear reader! You have watched the article to the end.
Have you received an answer to your question? Write a few words in the comments.
If you haven't found the answer, indicate what you were looking for.

To create and edit text documents, you usually use Word application Office, but as observations show, often more is used for these purposes simple program WordPad (probably due to the lack of installed office applications).

Previously, we mentioned, we talked about how to add a document created in Wordpad, today we will tell you how to change page parameters, insert various objects into the document, how to set page numbering and view the document before sending it to print.

How to change the font and its size in a Wordpad document was discussed in the description of this editor. In addition, in the font tab of the toolbar, you can make subscripts and superscripts, change the font color, and highlight text with color.

In each case, you just need to click on the corresponding button in the toolbar and type text from the keyboard, or select required fragment and then click on the appropriate button.

In the compact Wordpad menu, all icons are easy to read and understandable even for a beginner

Menu paragraph

You can use the increase or decrease buttons when formatting entire paragraphs paragraph indentation, the same can be done using the so-called ruler. You can create and edit bulleted and numbered lists; there is also an icon under which you can change the line spacing.

The buttons on this menu allow you to align paragraphs to the edges, center, or width. By clicking on the icon, you can open a dialog box for setting paragraph parameters.

In this window you can immediately configure all paragraph parameters.

Inserting objects

Compared with previous versions operating systems Windows in the “seven” has significantly expanded the ability to insert various objects into documents, in particular, the toolbar contains buttons for inserting and editing images, inserting a Paint picture, even a button for inserting the date and time has a place here. This is what the buttons for inserting various objects look like.

We should also mention the object insertion button. With which you can insert into text various graphics, tables, mathematical equations, of course, this is possible if you have the specified applications installed.

In this window you can insert a wide variety of objects, from equations to graphs

Page settings

To change the size of the sheet, its orientation, as well as the margins of the document, you need to find the “Page Options” button in the WordPad menu, clicking on which will open a window for setting these parameters.

In addition to these basic page parameters, here you can check the “print page numbers” box and they will be displayed in the printed document. Unfortunately, there is no way to see and change the parameters of the numbers here.

Document Preview

If we try to reduce the scale of the document displayed on the monitor screen in order to see how it will look on paper, we will find that all our text is located on one long strip, not divided into individual pages. Of course, this is very inconvenient when drawing up documents. But is it even possible to preview documents? It turns out there is...

You can see what the document will look like on paper by clicking on the button preview located in the “print” menu. When you click on it, the document will be displayed on the screen as it will be located on the paper.

Thus, despite its comparative simplicity, the text editor Word Pad quite suitable for writing small text documents. Its minimal functionality should be enough.

Mastering WordPad

Like Notepad, WordPad is present in all Windows versions. WordPad has more capabilities than Notepad, but at the same time it is significantly inferior to multifunctional word processing packages like Microsoft Word.

At the same time, WordPad has a wider range of tools than Notepad - it allows you not only to type text, but also to format the document. What does it mean? To put it more clearly, documents created in this editor, unlike Notepad files, can contain different fonts, sizes and text color formatting. You can also insert various objects into WordPad documents: pictures, drawings, diagrams, video clips, music, and even sound effects.

To open the program, enter WordPad in the search bar of the start menu or go to the “Programs” - “Accessories” tab. Click on the program icon with the mouse and a text input window will open.

By switching between the “Home” and “View” tabs, you can view various functions programs.

And by clicking on the blue arrow next to the “Main” tab, you can open the main menu.

In order to start working in the program, you need to create a new document. To do this, do some additional actions no need - just open the program, after which its window is ready for text input. Text in this editor is typed in the same way as in any other text editor, and the name created file the default is “Document”.

You can create a new document in WordPad by going to the main menu and standard panel and select “Create”. The result will be as follows - the window of the created document will open.

You can save a new document at any time while working with it. To do this, you need to click on “File” in the menu and select the “Save as...” command. In the “Save As...” window that appears, select the folder in which the file should be saved. If you need to save the file in a new folder, you can create it directly from this dialog using the context menu or the " new folder" on the action bar. In the “File Type” field, you need to select the desired file format. The default is "RTF File". In the “File name” field, enter a name and click the “Save” button. To cancel saving, click on the “Cancel” button.

When you subsequently save this file, the “Save” command will overwrite the modified file over the old one, and to save the document as new file you need to select the “Save As...” command from the WordPad menu, which will open a dialog box for saving the new edition under a different name and, if necessary, in a different folder.

There are two ways to open already created documents:

Select the “Open” item in the main program menu (remember, click on the blue arrow to bring up the menu);

Without opening WordPad, find it yourself required document in your folders (on documents saved in WordPad - the icon with the letter “W” is displayed, blue), click right mouse document, select “Open with...” from the dialog that opens, select “WordPad” in the new window, and the program will open with the document you need.

Let's talk a little about the formats that the program allows you to work with. In WordPad, you can open and save text documents (TXT files), rich text documents (RTF files), Word documents (DOCX files), and OpenDocument Text format documents (ODT files). Documents in other formats open as plain text and may not display correctly.

Now let’s return to the main menu and take a closer look at its items. What do they allow us to do with WordPad documents? In fact. Not a little!

“Create” - a new document.

“Open” - a previously saved document.

“Print” - send the created document to a printer and select in the additional dialog the desired method of sending for printing.

Send a document made in WordPad for printing.

“Page Settings” - in the tab that opens, you can change the page layout settings for printing, changing the page settings for printing in WordPad.

“Send by email” - sends a copy of the created document by email as an attachment. True, to do this, you must first install the “Email Program” on your computer and create a connection between this program and the WordPad program in the “Default Programs” control panel.

“About the program” - displays information about the copyright holder of the WordPad program and about the license holder for this program on your computer, that is, about you if you have a licensed Windows OS installed on your computer.

"Exit" - additional button to exit the program.

Working with WordPad documents is very simple - all the main actions are listed in the “Main” tab. You can call up the same menu by clicking right click mice by free space document or selected text.

Paste button - allows you to paste text copied in another document into a document. The “Cut” and “Copy” buttons only work with “selected” text. “Select” the text and press the button you need.

You can also insert images into a WordPad document. For this purpose, the panels are provided special buttons. To insert an image, place the cursor in the desired location in the WordPad document and click on the “Image” icon. This will open the Pictures folder on your computer. Find the image you need and double click paste it into an open WordPad document.

You need to save documents with formatting and insert images in RTF format. To do this, click on the blue arrow and select “Save As” - a new window will open with options for saving the document. In document types, the top value is “Save documents in RTF format” - this is exactly the item needed to save documents with images.

You can also insert an image into a WordPad document using the right mouse button. To do this, right-click on the desired image and select “Copy” from the context menu. And then, in the WordPad document, also right-click and select Paste. Such documents should also be saved in RTF format.

A little later we will touch on the issues of creating drawings in the Paint editor, but for now we note that you can easily insert these objects into a document. To insert a drawing made in Paint into a WordPad document, you need to open document WordPad click on the Paint icon marked in the top bar.

After this, the Paint program will immediately open and you begin to draw. Create the drawing you want to insert and close Paint. As soon as you close Paint, the outline around the drawing will disappear.

WordPad is a more complex graphic editor that allows you to format text - change its size, configuration, color... this can be done using the text attributes panel.

Here are the main buttons and windows that allow you to work with text. Let's look at them. We will not point out each one, since you can find out about the purpose of each button by simply hovering your mouse over it - a hint will open and everything will immediately become clear! So, what are the buttons located in the text attributes panel?

Buttons for changing the font in WordPad, for example: Arial, Courier, Georgia, Times New Roman.

Buttons for changing font size - from 8 to 72.

Buttons step change font size. By clicking on these buttons, change font size in WordPad, you can change the font size in the selected text up or down. You can also change the style.

Highlight - changes the color of the background on which the text is written. Click on the triangle to the right of the “pencil” and the palette for changing the background color in the WordPad text document will open, click on the desired color and when you deselect the text, you will see that the background is the color you need.

Font color - changes the color of the text. Click on the triangle on the right and a palette for changing the color of text in a WordPad document will open.

Regarding palettes, we note that if in the palette that opens you were unable to select the color you need - at the bottom there is a button “Other colors...” - click and a new palette will open, in which you need to click the “Define color” tab.

First click on one of the empty cells, and then click on the color you need in the spectrum. After that, you can click the button at the bottom “Add to set”. The selected color will appear in the box and by clicking “OK” you will add the color to the palette.

Now let's look at the Paragraph panel, also located in the Text Attributes panel. It changes the alignment of text in the document. Here are the buttons:

Allows you to reduce paragraph indentation;

Allows you to increase paragraph indentation;

Allows you to create bulleted and numbered lists;

Allows you to change the line spacing;
