I used it all the time to save text temporarily in. Note worked too, but i like the line break that WordPad had. It made reading and formatting easier.

It was very niche, but it’s great for viewing docs or other light work on a system you don’t want to install a whole office suite onto.
I liked having the minimal formatting options in WordPad without the bloat of Word.
