WordPad is a word processor that is similar to Notepad. Unlike more advanced word processors like Microsoft Word and Word Perfect, WordPad does not support special formatting, bullets or tables. It is limited in its ability for advanced formatting, but can be used to create and edit web documents with HTML (hypertext markup language). If you have basic HTML design skills, you can learn to make columns to create tables in WordPad.

Open WordPad and begin creating your HTML (hypertext markup language) code.

This is your first column in row 2	This is your second column in row 2	This is your third column in row 2

Add a background colour to your WordPad column by doing the following: The background colour for this column will be red The background colour for this column will be blue The background colour for this column will be yellow

Save your WordPad document by selecting "File > Save As" from the menu. Do not save your WordPad document as an ".rft" file. Instead, save it as an ".html" web file.
