How do I change Outlook to open Word documents in Word instead of
Internet Explorer? Thanks :-)
 
Make sure the default handler is Word and not the Word Viewer. You can check
and change this in Control Panel-> FOlder Options-> tab File Types

Click to expand...

Go to Windows Explorer, Tools | Folder Options | File Types. Find the
.DOC file type and change the program that opens it to Word.
 
You're welcome! :-)

It is the default indeed but when you've installed Word Viewer as well you
might have been prompted somewhere to associate doc-files with the Word
Viewer.
