Em+Client+not+recognising+.doc+attachments

I recently bought a new machine for the missus with Win 8.1. So I installed EM Client and Office 2007. She cannot open .doc attachments from within Em Client. It kicks out a dialog box asking for Office 365 to be purchased/activated. If the doc is saved it opens fine in Word 2007. In fact it opens fine on my machine with Word 2000. Any one have any ideas ?

SORTED !!
Apparently Win 8.1 is trying to get users to buy Office 365 with this ploy.
When I installed Office 2007 it did not adjust the file associations. I expect it will be the same where any other Microsft product is involved
