Go to Tools > Options and then click expand the Load/Save section. Here
you will see the General section. In that section look at the Document
Type/Always Save As drop-downs. You simply select the document type (Text
document, HTML document, Spreadsheet, Presentation...) and match it with
the default save as type you want (You will probably want Microsoft
Word/Excel/Powerpoint option.

Once you have configured those, click OK and you're done.

Hope that helps.
