When I want to open a file in Word the default file
choice which appears in the dialog box list is "Files of
type: Document Templates" instead of "Word Documents". I
can't figure out how to change this in any Options tabs.
 
Word should save whatever selection you make in this dialog. You might check
the setting for "Save Word files as" on the Save tab of Tools | Options, but
this would affect the Save As rather than Open dialog. If you're seeing this
setting consistently in the Save As dialog, then either you've changed the
Save Option setting or all your files are opening as templates (once a
template, always a template; a template cannot be saved as a document).
