Though I'm sure someone will inevitably tell me that this is 'normal' or the usual course of action of WordPad, I HAVE Word on an install disc sent by Dell when the PC was purchased, new, six years ago. For instance, whenever a WordPad doc is opened on this PC, the (MS) 'Word' logo jumps-up first, before/during the loading of the WordPad doc.
It WAS here - and 'parts' of it still seem to remain. I think my problem here, was that Word was removed from the system at one point in time or another. Discus and support Spell check for wordpad in Windows 10 Customization to solve the problem I went to settings to make sure that my highlight misspelt word or autocorrect misspelt words was on for my WordPad and it is, but it still isnt. '.I mean, I think we have (somewhere on this PC) Word (we'd have to have to have it, to have WordPad - right? I mean, WordPad comes with Word - right?)'
