Word saves documents by default as a .DOC file. Both Word and Word Pad can read these file types. If Word Pad has been associated with the .DOC file type as the default program to open them, you will always get them opened up in Word Pad when you double click them. The easy way to change the file association is to right click a file and choose Open With... select WORD from the list of programs, then check the box that says "Always open with this program".
