I recently installed Word 2007 on my laptop and I have this same issue.
When
a student sends me an attachment in Word 2007, and I click on the
attachment
to open it, it opens in Wordpad and it is just a bunch of jumbled
language.
If I save the file, then try to open it, the same thing happens. I have to
open Word 2007 then select "Open", and find the file. Then the document
opens
correctly. I also do not have the same problem with my school issued
Macbook
that has MacOffice.

Try saving the files to the hard disk before opening them. If that
doesn't
help, they could be damaged. Ask the sender to send them again.
