When I try to save a Word document in the Word document file selection it 
always saves as a Wordpad document. The only way I can save a new document in 
Word is to save it as an RTF file. I have uninstalled MS Office and reinstalled 
it, but it still does the same thing.  I have deleted WordPad program as I will 
never use it, but when restarting my computer I discovered it appears again in 
the program folder. Then when I run a file search for Word files the Wordpad 
files appear in that program also.

This problem occured after consultation with a Del technician when I could not 
access a new cable Internet connection. He concluded that it was an operating 
system problem and  I had to completely wipe everything off my hard drive.  The 
tech then installed my Windows XP home edition by accessing my computer. I then 
reinstalled MS Office professional with Front Page from my disk.   Before 
removing everything ,I had saved my documents on a CD disk and when I went to 
move them  to my hard drive I found that some of them were in wordpad, which I 
had never saved them in initially.  In running a check on the CD  disk I 
discovered that there was something called "a bad block" .  I am assuming (and 
I don't have any ideate the assumption is correct) that there was something in 
that transfer process that has caused this problem. 

Thanks for any help you can give me.
