If you receive MS Office email attachments that you cannot open, there is a solution. Office is expensive and updated often enough to confuse anybody. You can download small free programs from MS so that you can view Word.doc Word.docx Powerpoint and Excel files.  If you want to modify these files, you must buy MS Office.  Windows 7 often has a free lite version of MS Word and Excel included.
