It's the little things with a new system

[EMitchell]

I find it's the little things on a new technical device that catch me by surprise. I can be prepared for setting up notifications, customizing ringtones, etc. But it's the details that aren't obvious until they are needed. For example, we have a number of recipes stored on One Drive, so when we go to the grocery store, it's easy to pull up a shopping list of ingredients. I tried this yesterday, only to discover the .txt formats of the recipe files need an app of some type that I didn't have. I tried using Word to open them, but Word wouldn't recognize them as compatible files. I searched the MS store (briefly) for a txt editor, and downloaded one, but discovered it could create .txt files, but not open existing files. Ah, well, minor problems, not the end of the world.

That is pretty odd, as I can open, edit and save .txt files on one drive using my 920 running Wp 8.1.

LOL MSWord lost this functionality, it's a bug in my opinion. I use Text Reader to read and copy txts, but it is kind of a stupid bug form Microsoft...

It is odd, I had no problem with my L830 and WP8.1. Not sure why MS removed this capability from Word in WP10.
