    Hello ;

    Microsoft Word 2007 and later saves documents in the OpenXML format with a .DOCX extension.
    You can open it using any of the below application
    Microsoft Word 2010
    Microsoft Word Viewer
    Microsoft Works
    Corel WordPerfect Office X6
    OpenOffice.org
    LibreOffice

    Try changing the file association. Right click on the .doc file > click on Open With > Choose program, and select what application you want it to open with. And remember to tick on 'Always use selected program.

    Now Wordpad will always have some difficulties reading full fledge .doc files. One way around is to always save or convert your .doc files to .rtf.

    You can also open, and use your word files online, and for free on google drive .

    And then again, there are plenty of free programs out there that are just like MS word.

    Abiword - AbiWord
    OpenOffice - Apache OpenOffice - The Free and Open Productivity Suite
    Jarte - FREE Word Processor Based on Microsoft's WordPad Engine
