When using Word, when I try to send a document as an email attachment, the
email automatically opens in Outlook. How can I use gmail instead?

I don't think you can. Word uses the default email handler that is
installed on your system, and that is almost always Outlook when Office
is installed. GMail is a web-based email system that works only thru
your browser.

It is however possible to use Outlook with Gmail.

Better still, you can use Gmail to handle all your e-mail to take advantage
of its anti-spam capabilities and integrate it with Outlook -
