Windows has added many enhancements to old accessory programs including Paint and WordPad, its free document editor. You can now send documents via email directly from within WordPad. This will save you time since you no longer have to manually open your email client, locate the file on your computer and then attach it to a new message. WordPad can attach any file so long as it supports that format.
