Wordpad in Windows 7 does not support .doc files. That means pretty much all the word documents you are likely to come across are not supported by this bundled word processor in Windows 7.
It does support Word 2007 format (.docx)though and also the other open standard formats such as .odt files which are used by OpenOffice. The look and feel of the interface has also been changed to make it look like a Office 2007 application.
Frankly I never liked the new interface of Office 2007. Confusing and frustrating for people used to the earlier interface of the previous versions of Office.
Hoping that they add the support for .doc files in the release version of windows. Another thing they should add is the support for pdf files. That would be perfect for the little applicaton called Wordpad.
This blog used to be about my assembled computer but now I am expanding into all other tech devices etc. that I have or would like to have. The story about my journey from thinking of assembling my computer( a good one ) to actually deciding components and getting them. Then playing around with them. Extracting performance from them. Pushing them to their limits and a little more.

Interesting... They virtually own the .doc, wordpad should support .doc...
Maybe they are trying to force the use of newer .docx (Office 2007)format.
Like they did by displaying compatibility mode warning in the title bar for .doc format in Office 2007 to scare unsuspecting users.
