I Have the same iOS and have also downloaded Word, so does t his have to be open before I can open a docx attachment in an email. I also have pages too?

From an email, tap the attachment once to download and again to open it. From the preview, tap the box with an upwards arrow in the upper right of the screen and select MS Word to open the attached document file in Word (or Pages). . What you see within mail is merely a preview version of the attachment.

There are multiple MS Office compatible apps, but there is only one Microsoft Word (and only one MS Excel, PowerPoint, Onenote and Onedrive app).
