Very informative, in that it answers the question very precisely. It's like the old joke about a helicopter pilot lost in pea soup fog over Seattle, somewhere. A building abruptly looms out of the fog, and the pilot holds up a sign saying "WHERE AM I?" The person at the window scribbles on a piece of paper: "YOU'RE IN SEATTLE". The pilot whips the helicopter around, flies straight to a helipad and lands with 30 seconds of fuel left. The passengers want to know how he did that. "Well, the answer was perfectly correct, but absolutely useless. So, I knew that the building was in Redmond on the Microsoft campus."<p>Although I liked seeing and knowing what Wordpad means, this is the worst kind of apologetics (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologetics" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologetics</a>). It's great that Wordpad allows this sort of control. But what the heck? Why does "text" mean three different things? Why does "text" differ from "binary"? That's just confusing.
