Default how do I stop documents turning to notepad when saved

Are you saving it as a .DOC file. Then going to Word and open it in
Word. If you are clicking the file with your mouse and trying to open
it and it opens in Wordpad it means your file settings are set to open
DOC files in Wordpad. Check this by going to Start My
ComputerToolsFolder OptionsFile Types and check if the DOC files
are set to open with Word.

to
notepad or wordpad, this changes the whole doc by moving the layout. i
