When using Word, when I try to send a document as an email attachment, the
email automatically opens in Outlook. How can I use gmail instead?


I don't think you can. Word uses the default email handler that is
installed on your system, and that is almost always Outlook when Office
is installed. GMail is a web-based email system that works only thru
your browser.
