Word 2007-2019 files open in Word instead of Studio when opened from within Studio

Hi all:

This started a few weeks ago. I generate a project with Word files but when I try to open the files, they open In Word instead of opening a Trados window. My solution has been to resave the files as .doc files instead of .docx. Those open in Studio as they should but I would like to fix this problem. Thanks for any help. Sonia
