Office 365 and using Gmail

Using Office 365, I went to share a document with my Team by email attachment and it pulls up Outlook.  Obviously, MS wants me to use the Outlook program, but I use Gmail.  I don't see any way to change my default email program as my Gmail.

Can you help??

Thanks in advance.

Update 3/1... still no solid advice on if Word can be set up to use my default gmail account to attach the Word document thru.  I don't wish to go thru added keystrokes of downloading to my hard drive.

    I guess you are using one of the commands in Word to send your file directly as an e-mail attachment? Note that when you do that, Word will start your default e-mail program, which may be programs such as Outlook, Thunderbird, etc. If you don't want to use any of those programs, just save your Word file to your hard drive, and attach the file to an e-mail from within Gmail.

    I understand what Gmail is... But I don't want to use Outlook as my mail program.  I want to click on a Word doc and send it thru my default email server, not Outlook... But gmail.  Can this be done?

    Gmail is a mail account that can be added to a mail client, eg MS Outlook, or accessed via your web browser.

    The Gmail account can be added to MS Outlook as a pop, or IMAP mail account, Gmail help has instructions
