For some reason documents I've saved as Word Documents have changed themselves to Wordpad. Which is annoying especially as WordPad has no spell check. Can I turn off Wordpad? How to return these documents back into Word Documents. I have Microsoft XP. Also there use to be a thesaurus available under tools and when I upgraded it disappeared. Is a thesaurus still available somewhere on the tool bar? I've observed that people have been very generous and helpful here. Thank you, K.
