Best Answer

Microsoft Word is a full-featured word processor. Wordpad is much more limited in what it can do compared to Microsoft Word. For very simple documents you could use Wordpad. It has basic formatting such as fonts and colours and sizes. It does not have facilities like spell checkers or mail merge. It is better than a text editor, but not as good as a full word processor. It comes as part of Windows, whereas you have to buy Microsoft Word, which is part of Microsoft Office. Microsoft costs, because you can do so much with it, so it is much better to use as a wordprocessor than Wordpad.

Word pad files saved as doc gets converted to Microsoft Word how can you correct this?

The problem you are having is not of conversion. Rather, it is of association. Saving a file as .doc in Wordpad is the same as saving it as .doc in MS Word. The problem is that your computer is set to open .doc files with MS Word rather than Wordpad. This is common, and I believe MS Word sets this association by itself when installed. Try right-clicking a .doc file and choosing the Open with... option. In the dialog that appears, choose Wordpad and tick the box that says "Always open with this application"
