Also under the settings, apps, default apps you can choose any program you want, doesn't have to be a modern metro style app.

1443759 2017-12-18 04:18:00 Go into settings, Apps, Default Apps, Scroll down to "Choose default apps by file type" Scroll down to .docx or .doc and select Microsoft Word ( assuming you want word) other wise select what ever you have, it will give options for what ever programs you have installed.

As per the screen shot I have Ability Office or MS office

You appear to abhor use of the term APP, well so do I it gets up my nose :), but essentially apps and programs are the same thing, app being a subset of program :devil
