Thank you for your reply, JoAnne.
In Word XP Office on my old computer, my files and folders were in document
form and not in WordPad form. I didnt have Works Suite on this old computer.
My new computer does have Works Suite, however, and this is where my
documents from the old computer have ended up. What I want to do is transfer
the Works Word WordPad documents to Office 07 in a regular document format
rather than in a WordPad format.
Your suggestion baffles me, though not because it is wrong. Im baffled
because you gave me the general directions without the specific step-by-step
procedures to accomplish it. Im a novice, you see.
Might you do this for me, please. Thanks.

You've got several things mixed up. Vista and Windows are operating systems
that do not have a word processor. Office and Works Suite are collections of
programs that do contain word processors. Okay, that's enough school for the
day. ;-)
If you had Works and now have Word 2007, try copying your files over to your
hard drive (do not open them on the disk!) and then open them in Word. Save
them and you're good to go.

My new computer has Windows Vista Home Premium, and my old computer had
Windows Office XP . I copied some Word files and folders from XP Office to
a
CD. When I installed the files and folders in my new computer, they showed
up
as Wordpad documents in Microsoft Vista Works Word Processor. I then
installed Windows Office Word 07. I want to convert the copied files from
Microsoft Works Word (WordPad file association) to Microsoft Office
(Word
doc. file association), so that I might use the old Windows XP files and
folders in Vista Office Word 07. How might I accomplish this?
