Default Trouble opening files

I changed from MS Works 7.0 to MS Office 2003. I had created numerous
spreadsheet documents in Works. I started to convert them from Works to
Excel. I converted the first one by opening Excel, choosing FileOpen. In the
Open dialog box, I clicked on the file I wanted, and it opened in Excel. I
worked on it, and then closed it and it was saved with the extension of .xlr.
I later tried to open it and could not do so. I also noticed that all other
spreadsheet documents had been automatically changed from Works to .xlr. I
found that I can open the documents by using the Open dialog box procedure
set forth above. This is more burdensome than simply going to the file,
clicking it and having it open. Can anyone give me some help. Thank you.
