Default Default Save format

When I use Windows Explorer I find that all Word files have suddenly been
changed to Text documents. All new files are also changed. My default setting
is to save as Word files.
I am using Office 2000 and I have Windows XP Home.
How can I get back to a doc format setting, and is it possible to get all
the existing files back into doc format?
