Windows 10: how to manually navigate to the Word app settings page

I want to know how to manually navigate to the Word app settings page. When I go to Settings > Apps & Features > Microsoft Office App > Advanced Options, App Add-ons, and Downloadable Content, I can see the Word app listed. However, when I click on it, it doesn't take me to the Word app's settings page. But if I search for 'Word' using the magnifying glass, right-click the UWP Word app, and select 'App Settings,' it directs me to the Word app settings. How can I access the settings directly from the app list?

Not able to set word as by default for .txt & .text type file

Hi Ishan

If Word or Office does need to be repaired, then use these steps:

Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

Go to Apps, then scroll down to find Microsoft Office

Select that and choose Modify - Online Repair

That is a comprehensive fix

That should fix any issues with your Office Installation . . .

To set Word as the default app for txt files:

Right click any text file and choose Properties

At the top of the resulting dialog, click Change

Is Word one of the options available in the list?

If not:

Right click a txt file, choose 'Open With' - Choose Another App

Important - Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open .txt . . .'

If Word is not in the list, scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

Again if Word is not in the list, at the bottom, click 'Look for another app on this PC', then navigate to find the Word executable . . .
