all Microsoft Word files are being saved as WordPad files
I opened one of my files in WordPad that Microsoft Word would not open and
then WordPad took over all my Microsoft Word files that were not rich text files. I can open files in Microsoft Word, however even though I save them as Word documents they appear as WordPad documents in all file menus. This change even occurred on a flash drive that I use as backup. I need to get them back as Word documents for a variety of reasons. I am using Microsoft Word 2003-- |

Right click a document in Windows Explorer (you might have to hold down the SHIFT key while doing so). Choose "Open With ...". Select Word as the program to open that format. Check the always open with this application check box at the bottom. Alternatively, you can try http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/reregisterword.htm Yves |
