I transfered word 2003 from one computer to a new computer and my wpd documents now appear as wordpad documents. How do I get them back to wpd docs?Also, how do I eliminate the panel that appears on the left of the new word document screen?1 person needs an answerI do too

How did you "transfer" Word? You can't just copy its Program Files and expect it to work. You need to reinstall Word (or the full Office) using the installation CDs.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
