Attached Word document opens in Outlook not Word

I am trying to assist someone who has this problem:

When he double-clicks an attached Word document in an e-mail in Outlook, the Word document opens in some kind of "previewer" in Outlook rahther than opening in Word.

Is there a setting somewhere that controls how attached Word documents open?
