File Formats
Use Word to convert the following file types: .doc, .txt, .rtf, and .htm
Use WordPad to convert these file types: .doc, .txt, .rtf
Use Excel to convert .xls files.
Use Access to convert .mdb files.
Use PowerPoint to convert .ppt files.
Note: You can also take text from almost anywhere, copy it to Word, and convert the text in Word.
Then you can either copy the converted text back to its original application or just save it in Word.
Converting files in Word (and WordPad) preserves all text formatting.
