How to specify attachment type in Tiger Mail?

I recently updated to MS Office 11.2. Since then, when I click on Word attachments in emails that I receive, they open by default in another application (Nisus Writer Express) rather than in Word. How is this preference set? Is there a way I can reset it so that Word attachments will open by default in Word?

Drag one of the those attachments to your Desktop. Select it with the mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled Open With click on the little down arrow to expand the pane. Select Word from the dropdown menu as the default app, then click on the Change All button. Hopefully, that should do the trick.
