Default Excel 2003 saving as Word

We have a number of spreadsheets that we "save as" with new data.
Just recently, when we do a save as, we give it a new name, the "Save as
Type" is definitely Excel workbook but, when it saves, the icon shows as a
word doc. If you try to open it, Word starts. If you rename it at the folder
view and put an xls extension on it, it opens fine.

We then noticed that when we do a save as.. there are quotes around the
name. If we take the quotes off, it saves correctly. There are not quotes
around the original file names at the folder view.

Any ideas ???
