Sounds like the drop-down menu in the File | Open dialog is set to "Recover
Text from Any File," should be set to the word documents option.

Jerry,

When the Open dialog box appears change the "Files of type" to something
other than "Recover Text From Any FiIe"

In the File > Open dialog, change the Files of Type box from "Recover
text from any file" to "Word documents" or "All files".

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/RecoverText.htm.
