Side note
The use of MS Office file formats for OpenOffice/LibreOffice work in progress is almost always a bad idea. Use open document format when possible.

Situation
Microsoft will try to make you use their apps whenever they can. Updates will reset default apps. Direct links convert to searches. Missing/blocked apps lead to suggested alternatives.

Solution
You can set default applications for each of the file types/extensions you use, but you will most likely have to do it again. (Cf. "situation" above.) See e.g. this link.
