System: Windows2000SP4,Word2000SP3, Acrobat7.0.7 installed

If I open a document that way: menue File - Open, my table-formated document
displays Format-Names, content as only Text without format and so on.

If I open the same document that way: menue File - Last opened files - 1, my
document will be shown correctly.

If I opended the document in the first way, then I click on Create-PDF and
abort this dialog, the display changes into the correct appearance.
 
Do you have a printer (driver) installed and set as default? Aborting the
PDF creation will set the Adobe driver as the active printer. The documents
are formatted to the currently active printer.

The other possibility is that you are opening the documents with the
'recover any text from file option set'.

"tsd" obviously missed your second guess, which is the correct one; the
tipoff is that the file opens correctly from the MRU list.

Thank you very much!

I had opened and worked with a html-document and therefore switched the
file-type to *.txt and I didn't think, that WORD would save this switching
from exit to every new start of the program.
 
Word 2002 finally gets this right, resetting to your default setting (Word
Documents, All Word Documents, All Documents, etc.) after you've used
"Recover Text from Any File," but in previous versions it's "sticky" even
between Word sessions.
