I downloaded libre office but I want to work in wordpad too...Now when I open my Docs I cant open them in wordpad, it seems windows only allow me to open in Libre Office...
Any way i can overcome this...I'm more comfortable for now in wordpad,.
You need to save your (text) files from Libre Office as rtf.
Wordpad does not know anything about Libre Office's native formats, or doc, docx (MS Office formats).
However, you should consider moving on from Wordpad.
I use Atlantis Word Processor (rather like old Word) which I got as a giveaway:
and you can get a version of MS Office for $40 for example.

Agreed but I have issues with LO . I cant figure out how to cut copy and paste using libre office. So I can paste it back to wordpad
I will slowly learn LO but at my age, who knows how slow that might be!.
I think it might be best to close out LO until I'm finished with the present work

A different question: If I wish to close out and delete Libre office, and have downloaded documents to it...it had me change to RTT Will I be able to open those docs in word pad..I dont want to lose them,

I'll try to interpret this...
I think you mean you have created documents in LO, saved them (without considering the file type used) and these now don't open in Wordpad.
If so, simply open each in turn in LO Writer, then save it as .rtf
Start here to save it:
and in the next dialogue choose rtf
I hope you have file extensions visible on your PC - they are not by default.
Thanks I'm opting out of LO, it just isn't worth the aggravation . My question is now how to close LO out of my windows 10 Desk top
pc..
Right click open file as.
You could possible remove the association from word or anything at all and just right click or open with whatever. That is what I
do with my .txt files.
MSworks Word files are not Word files. They have the same ending but is loaded with tons of code and features.
Tsar word processor has been ported, maybe try that.
I have tons of word processes.
Thanks right now I just want Libre office off of my pc I want to go back working with "Wordpad" so when I open something from docs it is in wprd pad.
I have no idea what RTT or rich text means, or how I want to save it...and at my age I'm not going to do well trying to learn this stuff.
I'll be dead by the time I get this stuff in my head.
Thank you so much for your reply.
Do you have documents you created in Libre Office you want to be able to open in Word Pad?
Your post seemed to say you do.
If you really don't know what a file type is, then delete those and recreate them in Wordpad.
Look:
Wordpad handles files like
mylifestory.rtf
It does NOT handle files like
mylifestory.doc
mylifestory.docx
or the other file types Libre O. Writer produces.
Now, I've given you a lot of help and time... so good luck..
