2.1.5 Section 2.1, Document Roots

WordPad supports only the package representation of documents and does not support the representation as a single XML document. It supports only text documents and does not support other types of ODF documents. It writes out content.XML and styles.XML subdocuments and also a meta.XML subdocument with empty metadata when creating or saving a document in the package representation.

On Read, WordPad does not support reading packages in which the content.XML or styles.XML subdocument is missing. It does not process the other subdocuments of the package on Read.
