Problem saving Word Documents

[Bill Watson]

Something has happened to my "Microsoft Word" program that came with my
"Microsoft Works Suite 2005". When I open "Word" and type a document, and
then go to save it, it goes to "My Documents" file "Save as Type": "Plain
Text" in stead of "Word Document" as all other documents that I have
previously saved, and I can't find a means of changing it to "Word Document".
These new saved documents don't show up in the usual "My Documents" file so
I can't call them up. I can only see those new docs when I go to save a new
doc at which time a little window comes that says "File Conversion" and
"Windows (Default)". I've reinstalled "Word" from the called for discs and
downloaded all the most recent upgrades from the MS website, but the problem
has not been resolved. Please Help.
Bill

Sorry, you’ve landed in a MacWord group. Try asking your question on the
general Word newsgroups. Start here:

Hi Bill:

Try Tools>Options>Save and change the "Save documents as" setting back to
"Word Document"

What a surprise: Bill's using "discussions.microsoft.com" and his question
landed in the wrong group. God I wish they'd fix it

Cheers
