Microsoft Word isn’t your default program for viewing and editing documents
Disable Word’s default program dialog box
Repair Word’s Office Installation
Check the default apps by file type settings
Uninstall old Office suites
Select Notepad and then Word as the default file type
Those are some of the most probable resolutions for fixing the Word isn’t your default program dialog box. If you still need further resolutions, you can get in touch with Microsoft support agent via the Contact Office Support page.
