Look in ~/.local/share/applications. I've had good luck configuring
default file handling applications by adding/modifying files in this
directory. You'll also want to make sure that your ~/.mime.types or the
global /etc/mime.types file contains a proper entry associating the
filename extension with a MIME type of application/msword.
Very good tip ... I will keep that one safe in my inbox for a while.
