And this is one of those mistakes. :-)
When you first save a file, the Save As window opens. Are you changing
the File type dropdown menu to Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)? But
MOST IMPORTANTLY, are you making sure that a little box at the bottom
is checked? It is labeled Automatic file name extension. I have a
feeling that it was not checked when you save those files.
