word docs converted to open office

I use Word 2010 and also have Open Office 4.0.0.  Since I updated Open Office, all of my word files are converting to Open Office.  This includes new documents created in Word and old documents already on file.  The only way I can change a doc., sometimes, is to open it in Open Office, cut it, open Word and paste it, then save it in rich text format.  How do I stop this Open Office takeover?
Answer
Answer
Right click on a document in Windows Explorer and select Open with and set Word as the default application for opening such files.
Hope this helps,
