Problems with Microsoft Word 2010 & Excel 2010.

I have rececently installed Microsoft Office 2010 on a brand new computer running on Windows 7.

When I save a word document, the only way you can view it is by opening it in Word Document 97-2003.
When opening a spreadsheet in Excel, it displays as a Adobe Document and cannot be opened.

Can someone please explain if I have done something wrong and how do I rectify this problem.

Many thanks.
