I recently transferred computers and when the My documents transferred all
of
the word files (doc) were converted to wordpad files. Now word will not
save
a document as a .DOC it defaults to wordpad even when I save as and select
word file it will save it a wordpad file. how do I convert them back to a
.DOC file and set word to save them as a .DOC. This is bad because I have
a
thesis to write and cant save as a DOC. Pleasae help.
