Hi

If you are using OSX then single-click on the document's icon. Use File >
Get Info from the menu and click the disclosure triangle next to Open With.

Click in the dropdown and then navigate to the Microsoft Word application.
Click the box so that OSX remembers to use Word for this type of file from
now on.
