Default When send email it opens as wordpad

It doesn't matter if you don't have "Office". That's a collection of
programs, not a specific program. Are you creating the file with Word? Are
you saving it as a .doc file? If so, then the problem is probably on her
end. Ask her if the attachment says the name is blahblah.doc (the blahblah
part would be the name you chose). If not, there's something funky in the
emailing part. If so, the funky part is the end user. ;-) It could be that
her file associations are messed up *but* before you say that to her (which
will certainly irritate her), find out about the FULL name of the file she
receives.

She says she does. She is telling me I don't have the full office program.
But I'm pretty sure I do. Any more help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does the recipient have MS Word? If not, that's the problem.

I am sending a word document as an attachment through yahoo email
address.
On
my end it says that it is an application/msword. But the person I am
sending
it to says it opens in word pad and she is not able to view it. Can
someone
tell me why this is happening and how to correct. Thanks for your time,
