Piece of cake with Everything

To my surprise Notepad.exe is not in the list.
So I "Choose an app on your PC" and browse to C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe and choose that.
"The program you selected cannot be associated with this file type. Please choose another program"
Question1 for Win11: Why am I not allowed to open a text file with a text editor application?
Question2 for Win11: What on earth has Notepad.exe done to earn this reputation as an Australian larrikin?
Nonetheless I am a meek and obedient Canadian, so I do as I am told and "choose another program".
Turns out that MSWord(2003) is a suitable candidate.
Question3 for Win11: Why am I allowed to open a text file, which happens to hold VBA code with a MSWord application?
OK, this third question is a bit of a stretch, and only a paranoid human brain would panic and leap to the conclusion that BAS PLUS MSWORD ==> malware.
'Tain't so!
Nonetheless, i am still licking my wounds.
