Based on Colin's post, it didn't seem to me like he was looking for a text editor.  Furthermore, he's a forum regular, so one could presume that he's familiar with text editor options.  I could be wrong, but my guess is he either likes the challenge of getting Microsoft Wordpad to work in Linux using Wine, or he's looking for a scaled down version of a word processor like Microsoft Wordpad.

@Colin23erk,
I have the answer!  Check this out.


I got this by doing the following:  Menu->Wine->Browse C:drive.  I opened the windows folder.  Then the system32 folder.  I searched for wordpad.exe.  I clicked on it.  And then it was done.

To make it even sweeter, I created a shortcut as a test.  Just right click on the wordpad.exe file and choose Send To->Desktop (Create Link)

Piece of cake.

If you don't like leafpad (I don't because it's too basic), install another text editor.  Use synaptic package manager (menu -> install.remove software) and search for text editor.

Some text editors are

http://www.jedit.org/ (non-commercial; jEdit)
http://kate-editor.org/ (non-commercial; Kate)
http://kate-editor.org/kwrite (non-commercial; KWrite; uses Kate components)
http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/ (non-commercial; Leafpad)

I'm totally aware that the reason behind your post might be rooted in your curiosity to just see if you could get Wordpad to work in Wine.  If that's the case, I get it.  And if you do get it to work, I'll be paying attention.  But in case that's not your motive, I'll add the following:

To me, Leafpad is more similar to Notepad than Wordpad.  I have not tried to install Wordpad in Wine or know if there is even an option for it.  If you want a lightweight word processor Linux option to Wordpad, and for some reason you didn't want to use LibreOffice Writer, you might want to consider Abiword.  From my experience, the apps built for Linux have much better performance. 

Lastly, if you can open Wordpad in a terminal, then that's not the only way to open it.  You could Create a Launcher/Shortcut for it.

A much simpler solution is to use the text editor in LL, Leafpad.  Not sure what you gain running a Windows text editor under Linux...

Using  Terminal I get
Quote
colin@colin-NC110:~$ wine wordpad
fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet
colin@colin-NC110:~$


Word Pad eventually opens OK but ---Will this cause any problems later eg Printing and Saving .


Is using the Terminal the only way to open Wine Wordpad - there is NotePad in the  > wine  > Programs > Accessories > Notepad but not Wordpad
