word processor extension now .doc not .wps

[ath]

I'm using Works 4.5 -- a problem has developed ever since I downloaded a
converter for MS Word. The converter did not work adequately so it was
uninstalled. However it seems to have provoked a problem in Works.

Works currently saves all new processor documents with extension .doc.
That happens even when 'save as' is set to MS Works!

How can I revert to .wps as the extension?

Another anomaly - if I open an older file with a .wps extension, amend
it, then 'save' - it saves as .wps without a problem.
If I amend the file then use 'save as', the file has .doc extension.

any ideas how I could rectify??

Thank you very much!! The registry update option worked like a charm.

This glitch was minor but it really bugged me.... but no more!

Many thanks from a happy bunny
