Remote App links to local applications

I have a Remote App running out of Server 2008 R2 that some of my remote users access for inventory management on the road.  When they need to generate reports it pushes to a .doc file which is opened by WordPad, however I need these to open in Word installed on the users local machine so they can change formatting etc.  Is this possible or do I need to also host Word as a remote app or similar?

Thanks
