Notepad vs wordpad

What is the difference between XP's notepad and wordpad. I noticed that I can't enter code in wordpad and have it run.

Wordpad probably has embedded M$ stuff at the start of the document that is invisible to the user. This may be what stops it running for you. Toni's suggestion is probably the way to go. Bazza

WordPad has formatting options and whatnot, but its not all that good for creating scripts or HTML documents, etc.

 

Can I use scripting like BASIC to compose programs?

I also can't get Wordpad to accept a pasted jpeg. I only get an outline.

 

On the Toolbar:click Insert>Object>Create from a file>browse to & select your image>Click OK
Don't check the 'Link' or 'Display As Icon' boxes
You can resize the image if you want
Save your document as 'Rich Text Format (RTF)

If you want to Paste a pic in Wordpad you have to open the pic in your Graphics Editor....I use Irfan View

 

oops! time ran out!
Once you have your pic opened in your Graphics Editor click on Copy and then Paste it into your Word Pad project

 

I still don't get the picture (literally). Only an outline of the jpeg appears in the document.

Just open the pic to want to 'convert' in Irfanview and save as the file type you need. It supports them all...even PING with the additions you can d/l at thier website.
