java acting up when switching from notepad to wordpad{resolved}

[System_Error]

I usually use notepad to construct programs. Lately I tried to do one in wordpad and it shows up a bunch of errors. I cannot even compile working source code off the internet that was done in wordpad. I tried a simple hello world program in wordpad and it would not compile. It's doing some weird stuff. Anyone have any idea?

How do you save the files from WordPad? Its default format is .doc or .rtf, neither of which is the plain text that you have to use for source code.

Get a proper editor.

I got it now. Before I wasn't changing it from .rtf to the regular text formating. Thank you for helping me realize that.
