Default I cannot open .docx files from email attachments and I have Word 2

It seems certain that the file association for docx has gone adrift from
Word - perhaps because you later installed a zip application that stole the
file association (docx is a compressed format). If repairing Office doesn't
fix it, then right click a docx file from Windows Explorer and select Open
With... Choose Winword.exe and check the box to always open with this
application.

Sorry the Subject line cut off, but I have Word 2007 and it still
converts it to zip files when I open the document (.docx ) as an
attachment of an email.

Please help!
