Do a double tap and hold instead of a double tap on the attachment.
Once you hear the tones, you will have options to open it in other apps, 
including Word.

Subject: Opening an attachment in ms Word on my iPhone

Hi All,

If I email myself a word document (that is with a file extension of
.docx), is it possible to then open it in word on the iPhone for
purposes of editing?

When I tried this, I doubled tapped on the attachment and the document
opened. I couldn't tell which app had opened the document and there
seemed to be no way to edit, only read. I suppose I could copy the
text and paste it into another document, but that seems like the long
way around.

So is it possible to open an attachment in word, edit the doc then
save the changes?

Thanks,
Kimber
