... Why can't I open wordpad created documents that I recieve in my e-mail? What filetype? 1. WordPad can create RTF or DOC as well as TXT files. We do not know which you mean. Usually, what matters is solely whether the recipient can read the filetype. (It does not matter what the sender used to create the filetype.) 2. We do not know how your email app is configured. Most can be set up to omit attachments. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
