Open Office (which is what I assume you're talking about), became the
default because you told it to when you installed it. If you want Word
to be the default for .doc files, right-click on one and choose Word if
it's one of the defaults listed. If not, click on Choose Program, select
Word from the list, and check "Always Use the Selected Program..."
 
If you are wanting a document to open with 'Word' right-click on this
document and select 'Open With' and then 'Choose Program'. Select 'Word'
and make sure to put a check mark in the box next to 'Always use the
selected program to open this kind of file'. Any file with that same file
extension will now open with 'Word'.
 
thank you for the answer. I' ve done that but when word open it doesn't
reconise the files and all what I have is some squares and stanges signs.
 
You need to open the application in which you created the document, open the
document and then save it in a format Word will recognize. I believe, the
Open Office word processor has that ability. After you open the document,
go to the file menu, then select "Save as," there should be a dropdown list
in the file save box, there should be an option to save as a Word Document
in the list, if not, look for rtf (rich text format) and failing that, try
text though that will open in Notepad. I'm pretty sure it has the option to
save as a Word Document.
 
thank you very much every body it works now
