The documents haven't been 'converted' to anything. They are still Word
documents. What has changed is the file association. Fix it by
re-registering Word - see

I create a word document and save it. When I email it as an
attachment it somehow converts to Word Pad. Also, when I receive a
Word document via email, it converts to a WordPad document. My Word
version is Word 2003.

Please tell me how to fix this.
