Alright you smart computer Cuties, I need help. I typed something in Word Pad. I want to make a pdf. How do I do that without printing it first?

"Click the "File" menu in Wordpad and choose "Open," then navigate to the file you want to convert to PDF. Once the file is open, go to the "File" menu again and click "Print." Choose "Microsoft Print to PDF" or a similar option to generate a PDF file."
I copied this off the first Google result. So, when you click Print, select a different printer (the PDF) but don't forget to change it back.

I usually can do that, but it doesn't show me the pdf option. It just says:
Print
Quick print
Print Preview
I saved it as Rich text document....

Microsoft print to pdf

Make sure you have the Microsoft printer listed. Start> Devices and Printers>
If it isn't there, you'll have to add that feature.
This has instructions: https://softlay.net/how-to/add-mi...
