Windows 10: How do I get Word documents from Outlook 365 to open in the Word App instead of Word in my...

When I click on a Word document in an email in Outlook 365, it defaults to opening Word in a web browser. I want it to default to opening in the Word App. How do I do this?

outlook opens word?

If you use a version of Outlook prior to v. 2007, there's a checkbox in one of the preferences tabs which controls this. You can choose Word or Outlook Editor.

V. 2007 no longer includes Outlook Editor, though. It has it's own 'light' verson of Word 2007 built in.

Yes it does. *Smile Outlook uses word for message composition.

 

outlook opens word?

I have asked about this problem just about everywhere. well what is happening is when we open a new message in outlook it opens what looks like the shell of word that takes up a entire monitor ( it’s a four monitor system ). You cannot close the "shell" but if you close the message it will close.
Winword.exe is not running in the processes but word shows up in the application tab
It is the office 2k7 suite
If anybody has seen anything like this any help would be greatly appreciated
Also if you need to know anything else about the system please let me know.
