More about WordPad

As soon as the user opens the program, he will be prompted to create a new project. Once created, he will have an empty input field and a menu at the top. The main menu contains items like "Create", "Open", "Save", "Save As", "Print", "Page Options". and "Exit".

Clicking the "Create" button will open a new file with a completely empty file. The next item is "Open." In it you can open a text file that already exists on the computer. The item "Save" differs from the item "Save as" by the feature of saving. "Save" implies a quick save, and "Save as" allows you to save the file in a specific resolution that the user will specify and in a specific folder. Clicking on Print will open the user's print settings. If you go to "Page Options," you can set the top, bottom, left, and header and footer options.

The main menu is divided into two tabs, "Main" and "View". The first presents font settings, a clipboard where you can copy and cut certain text. And also a section with paragraph settings, where you can make a numbered list, set the text to be on the left side, center or right side.

In addition, the user can insert various objects and images by clicking on the "Insert" button and selecting the appropriate item.

The "View" tab contains tools for changing the display of the document in the editor window. This is where you can change the scale of the text.
