I used wordpad for 90% of my writing shenanigans too. The update took everything, sadly, so I understand the pain. Wordpad was so good. I don't understand why they got rid of it.

latest windows plan offers a free (limited) version of word, so they removed it. I'm trying to reinstall Wordpad from another system.
