[PLUG] Replacing template files in Xubuntu 20.04

The transcription company I do work for used to require files be saved 
as .doc. I created a .doc and a .xls file in my ./Templates directory, 
it lists "word" and "xls spreadsheet" in the context menu when I right 
click, "Create Document". The company changed their policy and now 
require files be saved as .docx and .xlsx. I replaced my templates with 
.docx and .xlsx versions, but I still get .doc and .xls files when I try 
to create a new file with a right click. I also tried saving those files 
as .docx and .xlsx and moving the old ones out of the ./Templates 
directory. New files are still created as .doc or .xls.

Is there something I'm supposed to do, other than rebooting, to cause 
the templates to be .docx and .xlsx?
