I am right in the middle of writing a book, and I went to my documents to add more writing. When I opened I discovered that it had some how been changed to Word pad instead of a Word document. How can I get all my writing back and get it back into a word format? I did hit the Repair link when opened Office 2010instead of not doing anything, it did not work. When I originally posted my question I had forgotten the correct name for the product my documents are changed over to.
I need to get the documents back to the way they were because I am in the stages of writing a book. Your original answer told me to go to Office in my programs and features click change, when the
program's execute popped up to click repair let it do its job and open stored office documents- that changed nothing. Once again the Office program opens the original documents and at the top of the page, directly below the menu bar a yellow bar appears and within that bar are the following words: "Word Pad does not support all the features of this documents format. Some content may be missing or displayed improperly." Honestly, I do not know what Word Pad is, how to open it, or where a link for the program would be.
