Microsoft Works does not change the extension of a formatted file’s filename if you save the file in plain or text format. However, if you open a text file, then save it as formatted, it is renamed. If you open a text file and save it in text or plain format with a different name, it is also renamed on the screen.

Microsoft Works assumes you do not want to save the actual file, but rather a copy of the file, and that you want to save the file unformatted if the file was originally formatted (otherwise, you would have saved the file under the original filename). You can reload the text or plain version of the file if you want the unformatted version on the screen.
