Default Word is, Word is more than I need

Probably they will be reassociated automatically with WordPad. If not, you
can do that manually in Windows Explorer by shift+right-clicking on a
WordPad file and choosing Open With. Then make sure that the checkbox at the
bottom (always use this application to open these types of files or
something like that) is checked and choose WordPad.

I installed Office Suite, Home/Student version, on my laptop (XP) to help
my
son's schoolwork before he got his own computer. Now I want to uninstall
it
as I really only need WordPad, but all my files originally in WordPad can
now
also be opened in Word and IE and their icons have changed to a 'W'. If I
uninstall the suite, will my old files be injured in some way?
