"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in the Options Control panel" This statement
appears when I try to open an email Word message attachment. Using Outlook

Do you have Word or a Word viewer on your machine? If you do:

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works and then check the box: Always
use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open
these attachments in the future.

If you don't:

MS Word 2007 Viewer:
