Word 2013 problem - Word isn't your default program...

Hi, I have a problem with Word 2013.  I just downloaded it yesterday.  I opened it up, and it gave me this warning:
I clicked Yes and put a check next to everything except .rtf (Rich Text Document), and clicked Save.  Now, my problem is, every time I close and reopen Word, it comes up with the same message box.  How do I save the settings so it is the default program for everything except .rtf?

(Dell Laptop, Windows 8, Office 2013)

Answer

Click the "Don't show this message again." box.

 

Also, in Windows Explorer, right click on each of the file types that you want to open with Word and then set Word as the default application for opening such files.

Hope this helps,
