There is an an option there that says "open with" and then you have choices of how to open the file. If at first it doesn't give you a choice for Word, you should be able to click on "more" and it should be listed.
It is a Word document, not Word Perfect. When I email it to my friend it converts to Word Pad. How can she avoid converting it to Word Pad? When she tried saving the document as a new document, we did not understand the options. Word was not an option but text format was. We tried saving it that way and when we pulled up the new document, it was all gibberish. We want to know how to make Word the default and not Word Pad.
