Have you tried repairing the Office installation (via Programs & Features > Microsoft Office > Change in the Windows Control Panel)?

It's also possible the inability to open .doc attachments without first saving them is a function of your email app's security settings. Windows Live Mail, for example, has a setting that prevents the opening of attachments that could contain viruses. Word .doc files fall into this category, but .docx files do not.
