Sir, if you notice my original post i have already mentioned E-11 > Internet Options > Tab "Programs" > HTML editing drop-down does not give option to choose "MS Word" as editor.
Verified that Word 2016 is installed on Windows 10 machine.
I have also post going on regarding this on http://www.answers.microsoft.com, but no good fix yet.

I have Office 365 and it doesn't give me the option to change it to Word either... Could that be why?

Just in case: I use Notepad++ for HTML Editing
If you have Win 10 why have you posted in win 7 section?
You can also go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

Then look inside 

View Source Editor\Editor Name

If you don't have Editor Name just add a new key and then add the path to the file you want to use.
