You can save the doc using the ‘ODF text document’ extension.
Google: what is a odf text document
Non proprietary format. Open source.
You can also save as a Word doc too. Or Rich text or PDF.
You can add Wordpad back to Windows 11 too.
You have to do a google search. Basically just copy the program files over from say Windows 10..
Here is the complete help.

I’ve been using Libre since forever, just don’t like it. Too many options and it takes longer to load. Just to get an rtf I can get in one second flat.
I got back wordpad but it took a while. Next time I buy a laptop I’ll just find a Windows 10.
Most of my activity on computer doesn’t even require a connection to internet. I’d rather go without internet than without wordpad.
