    word documents saved as wordpad documents


    I am using Word 2013 on my laptop. Windows 8 was operating system. Recently upgraded to Windows 10. When I save Word documents now, they are saved as Wordpad documents. (.xml files) Wordpad does not recommend some of the Word formatting and alters the documents.

    How do I correct this? I want the save as Word documents, as I did in the past.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Convert Note Pad Document to Windows 10 document

    If you want to open a Notepad text file in Word or WordPad, launch either Word or WordPad then open the text file, then save it as a Word document or RTF file.

    word documents saved as wordpad documents

    In Word try the file tab > Options >Save. You should be able to change to a default of .docx .
