Word docs will only save as WordPad docs...

[bfwelter]

When I create a new document in Word 2000 and then try to save it, it saves
as a WordPad doc. The option for saving it as a .doc file isn't even
available in the 'Save As' dialog box. What could be the problem?

Win XP Media Edition
Word 2000

Run Word with the /r switch to restore file associations. For
