Any future problem in saving in Wordpad
Greetings! When I see an interesting document [like an article in New
York Times] in Web, I save them in Wordpad by using paste special. Saving in Wordpad is much faster than in Word. Will it cause any problems later on [say after five years] in opening these documents in Word? With thanks.

Any future problem in saving in Wordpad
Nobody can guarantee what the future will bring but WordPad's default format
is RTF which will most likely be usable for quite some time. If for some reason the industry trends away from RTF there will most likely be 'warning signs' along the way with other formats to save the files into. I would expect that RTF will be around for much more than 5 years. Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 10/4/09 5:52 PM, in article , "zxcvar" wrote: Greetings!
