my outlook express pdf attachments open in Word scrambled?

My pdf attachments will now only open in a Word document and are not
readable. I upgraded to Adobe Reader 8 AFTER this started happening, as I
assumed my computer required the update and that is why it stopped working.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Word cannot open .pdf files. If Word launches when you double-click a
..pdf file, then you need to change the Windows file association for .pdf
files to launch with Adobe Reader instead of Word. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307859 "How to change file
associations in Windows XP". The process is similar in Windows Vista.
