Word documents now in wordpad Johnathan C 12/27/2008 4:16:01 PM Used Wordpad to open a Word file that Word said was unopenable. Wordpad opened the file, copied text I wanted from the file and saved as a Word file Now all Word files are Wordpad. How do I reconvert to Word Tried reconversion winword /r and using explorer as suggested in other posts still showing all files as Wordpad. What do I try next?
