One of the differance between wordpad and notepad is notepad will not open a large file. Not sure of what its limit is but if the file you want to open with notepad is to large it will not open it. If you have microsoft word you can use that. Also try changing the type to a txt file instead of a doc file, This might make a differance.

Just changing the extension won't do it, if that's what you mean.  Doc and txt files are pretty different.  Even opening the doc in Word and Save As txt file would lose all the formating (table etc) and would probably leave just a bunch of smushed together text.
