I have many data files which were set to open in wordpad file in windows XP. Those files have a particular format for data, like following:
Name of Data file
No. of data columns
Name of data in column_1
Name of data in column_2
.
.
.
Name of data in column_n
column_1 column_2 column_3 ... column_n
Now my computer has been formatted and OS is changed to windows 2007, however when I open my data files in wordpad the above format of data is no more present. The format in wordpad in windows 2007 seems to be distorted. Does anyone knows what to do to restore the format as shown above, which is what the data used to look like in XP?
I have attached the snap shot of the new distorted format of data as seen in wordpad in windows 2007. The snap shot shows 100 column names, however the data columns present are only 5 when it should be actually 100 data columns.
