minus-squarecomador @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up114arrow-down4·edit-23 months agoMicrosoft: We can’t spy on your usage when you use wordpad, use O365 instead! (guessing since MS recommends using O365 Word in its place). TBH, I haven’t used wordpad since Windows 98. Not saying others don’t use it, but Notepad++ and a myriad of other options are better anyway.

minus-squarecomador @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15·3 months agoOn a default install on NP++ you can only save as rtf, but there are addable plugins that give some rtf functionality. So as a direct answer, no, it doesn’t, but it can.
