In the process of trying to open a Word attachment in an e-mail, I saved a
copy and tried to open it in WordPad. Now it appears that every Word file in
every directory is a WordPad file.

Does someone know how to rectify this?
Thank you in advance
 
When you chose WordPad to open it, I would imagine that the box for "Always
use this program to open files of this type" (or whatever the exact wording
is) was checked. You'll need to go back and change it; use Open With to
select Word and make sure that box is checked.
