How do I stop Word 2007 from opening when I want to view a pdf fil

[Guest]

Ever since I installed Office 2007 I have not been able to view pdf files
using Adobe, Word 2007 automatically opens up. I can't see the files when
in Word 2007 and I don't know how to change it.

In Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > File Types. Select
the PDF extension in the list and set it to open with Adobe.

It's on the Tools menu in Windows Explorer (the file manager program,
not the internet browser, and not in Word).
