How do I convert a Wordpad file to a Word document
Right click your document and select "open with" then click "choose program".
Find Microsoft Word in your list and check the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK. Now every doc should open automatically in Word. If you ever want to open wordpad or notepad you can also right click and chose open with and click the program if it's listed. If not click chose program and select the program you want. Just don't check that check box. As a side note sometimes I don't see the open with option when I right click. If this happens to you, hold the shift key down while you right click.

How do I convert a Wordpad file to a Word document
I tried these suggestions and they did not work for me. I am running Word
2003 and Microsoft XP. Documents that I create and save in word end up with a wordpad icon. Also, the "properties" window says that the "type of file" is a wordpad document, even though it was created with Word. I have tried the right click, open with, choose program solution and that did not work. I also opened up explorer and changed the file associations for .doc and .rtf files to Word, but that does not work. To be clear, although the documents bear wordpad icons, they do open up in microsoft word. The only exception is when I attempt to open a word document from my thumb drive. Then, it opens in wordpad instead. I would appreciate any help.
