Windows WordPad is a relatively simple word processor. The program is usually the default word processor on new PCs, unless Microsoft Word is installed. While WordPad is solid for basic word processing, it becomes difficult when you are trying to add pictures or other objects. The processor will not recognize traditional JPEG images, so you must make a few changes.

The program 'Paint' is in Windows XP, and is enabled via Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs/Add or Remove Windows Programs icon, then scroll to MS Paint. Instead, can simply use ALT & 'Print Screen' keys to capture the displayed window in active application. Can even capture entire display "Print Screen'. WARNING - large files possible. EDIT/Paste in WordPad.
