Dorian, I followed your directions and it seems I have all the file associations correct. I'm sending you in private a picture of the Folder Options window to show you the association, "Extension doc opens with Winword" ... I think that's what you are saying in your suggestion.
My ISP said it might be my McAfee virus scanner stopping the email documents from opening up and I should call them asking the how to disable it. Makes no sense to me as I never even use it; it's not in my Ctrl/Alt/Del list and not in my msconfig Startup list. They'll say anything they want to sound knowledgeable. I reinatalled MSWord and that didn't help. I hope I don't have to reinstall Windows (I'm good at it but with what's involved, it's a day's work) ...
