How do I set an assoiation for microsoft office?

[Selia10]

When I click to get into my Microsoft word this message occurs:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in the Set associations control panel."

I went to the control panel and once I got there I didn't know what to look
for. I need help on this, I would appreciate any input. Thank you.

The message is wrong, or at least for a different version of Windows
than the one you have.
