Open MS word before you open a word file, maybe everything is fine.

  I downloaded open office.  I didn't like the format of the word processer
   documents, so I removed the program.


 Just curious, but why didn't you just change the format then?

  Now, my hundreds and hundreds of MS
  Word documents have all been re-formatted to Word Pad, which is totally
  unacceptable.  I can't even save a new Word document - they all turn into
  Word Pad.  How do I get my Word documents back to Word format?  I am very
  upset at this change!

Your files have not been touched in any way. What has happened is that the File 
Associations on your computer, which determine what program opens a particular 
type of file, have been set so that .doc files open in WordPad. You need to 
reset the File Associations to point to MS Office or MS Word; details are given 
in this posting
