I tried this solution and it didn't work - when I try to open a docx
attachment, Works comes up and I get a message that the file cannot be opened
and may be corrupt. I have been using Works for a few months and installed
MS Office Home and Student 2 days ago. Is there something else I can do?

In Windows Explorer, right-click on a Word document and choose Open With.
Select Microsoft Word and check the box that says something like "Always use
this program to open this kind of file."
