All of my WORD 2003 docs have "transformed" to WORDPAD in txt.

[Guest]

..Hello - I have been a user of Professional Word 2003 for 2 yrs. For some
unknown reason all of my documents saved on my hard drive, formatted as a
Word doc and saved in Word have now swithed and are now saved as a text
"Wordpad" document . I am not sure what caused this or how I can correct
it. This has happened to all of my docs - literally 100's - can anyone help?
Why did this happen and how can I correct it? Thanks so much

having same problem--as suzpierce answered at other newsgroup - this didn't
work; i get a "not found for winword" when I try this fix

Are you typing winword /r in the Start | Run box? Are you leaving a space
before the forward slash? You might also try winword.exe /r.
