Word docs save in wordpad only

[hightower52381]

im a home PC user with Windows XP, using Office 2000 Standard. My version of
Word 2003 is 9.0, but when i save a Word doc, even though i choose Word, it
saves as a wordpad document. I'm set up for auto updates from Microsoft, so
did i miss an update on a fix for this?
