WordPad Kya Hai? WordPad Ka Use Kaise Kare – Step by Step Guide

Aaj ke digital yug me har kisi ko ek aise tool ki zarurat hoti hai jisme wo apne ideas likh sake, chhote documents bana sake ya simple letters type kar sake. Isi ka solution tha WordPad.

WordPad Kya Hai?

Ek simple aur free word processing software jo hamesha se Windows operating system ka hissa raha hai. WordPad ek tarah se Notepad aur Microsoft Word ke beech ka bridge hai. Matlab, agar aapko sirf plain text likhna ho to Notepad kaafi hai, aur agar aapko professional aur advanced features chahiye to MS Word best hai. Lekin jab aapko dono ke beech ka balance chahiye – jaise text likhne ke saath basic formatting (bold, italic, underline, fonts, colors, bullets, numbering) – tab WordPad perfect choice tha.

Iska interface bhi kaafi simple tha jisme ek beginner easily kaam kar sakta tha. Chaahe ek student apna homework likhe, ek teacher ek simple notice prepare kare ya koi normal user apne personal notes save kare – WordPad har jagah use hota tha.

WordPad ka History aur Version

WordPad ki kahani shuru hoti hai 1995 me, jab Microsoft ne ise pehli baar Windows 95 ke saath introduce kiya. Us samay WordPad ek naya aur modern tool tha jo users ko plain text ke saath formatting ka option deta tha. Ye Notepad se ek bada upgrade maana gaya, kyunki users ab sirf text likhne tak limited nahi the, balki apne documents ko thoda attractive aur readable bana sakte the.

Agle kai saalon tak WordPad har Windows version ke saath aata raha – Windows 98, Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 aur 10. Har naye version me WordPad ka interface thoda modern hota gaya aur uske features bhi improve hote gaye. Lekin ab Microsoft ne officially announce kar diya hai ki Windows 11 ke baad WordPad ko permanently remove kar diya jayega. Matlab jo ek zamane me har Windows user ke liye ek important tool tha, wo ab sirf ek yaad bankar reh gaya hai. Microsoft ka kehna hai ki WordPad ab outdated ho chuka hai, aur users ke liye behtar options jaise Notepad (for plain text) aur MS Word ya Word Online (for advanced documents) already available hain.

WordPad ki Features

WordPad ek aisa software tha jo simple hone ke bawajood apne users ko kaafi useful features provide karta tha. Agar aap ek beginner ho aur aapko basic document likhna hai, to WordPad ke tools aapke liye kaafi the. Isme aap text ko type karke usko bold, italic ya underline kar sakte the. Saath hi aap fonts ka size aur style change karke apne document ko aur readable aur attractive bana paate the.

WordPad me paragraph alignment ka option bhi hota tha – jaise left, right, center ya justify – jisse ek formal letter ya project report ko professional look milta tha. Agar aapko list banana hota to aap bullets aur numbering use kar sakte the. Ye feature students ke liye bahut helpful tha, jab unhe exam ke liye notes banane hote.

Ek aur khas baat ye thi ki WordPad me aap images aur objects insert kar sakte the, jo Notepad me bilkul possible nahi tha. File formats ki baat karein to WordPad ke through aap apna document RTF (Rich Text Format), DOCX, ODT aur plain TXT format me save kar sakte the. Printing ke liye bhi simple option diya gaya tha jisse aap directly apne document ko printer se print kar paate the.

Matlab simple shabdon me bole to WordPad ek lightweight aur beginner-friendly software tha jo basic writing aur formatting ke liye perfect solution tha.

WordPad aur MS Word ka Difference

Jab hum WordPad aur MS Word ka comparison karte hain, to sabse pehli cheez samajh aati hai ki dono ek hi category ke software hain – yani word processors – lekin dono ka purpose alag hai. WordPad ek basic aur free tool hai jo Windows ke saath automatically install hota tha. Iska use mainly un logon ke liye hota tha jo sirf simple documents, notes ya letters likhna chahte the. Dusri taraf, MS Word ek professional aur advanced software hai jo Microsoft Office package ka hissa hai.

WordPad me aapko basic formatting options milte the jaise bold, italic, underline, font size change, bullets aur numbering. Lekin agar aapko ek professional document banana ho – jaise project report, resume, research paper ya office file – to uske liye MS Word zaruri ho jaata hai. MS Word me spell check, grammar correction, mail merge, table of contents, templates, macros, aur wide range file formats (DOCX, PDF, HTML, XML) ka support milta hai jo WordPad me bilkul nahi hota.

Ek aur badi baat ye hai ki MS Word me aap apne documents ko cloud (OneDrive) ke through online save karke collaborate bhi kar sakte ho, lekin WordPad me collaboration ka option nahi hota. Matlab WordPad beginners aur casual users ke liye accha hai, jabki MS Word un professionals ke liye best hai jo har din documents ke saath kaam karte hain.
