PDF files trying to open in Word

[Edward]

Need Help

If I receive attachments that are in PDF format, when I try to open them by
double clicking in Outlook, they try to open in Word and are garbled. If I
try to convert a Word file to a PDF, it creates the PDF but when you try to
open the file in Explorer, it always trys to open them in Word. What gives?

Thanks!
Ed

WEll, if you're trying to open them in explorer and they open with word,
it's not Outlook.

But, that said, it's the file association. Right click on a pdf, go to properties
and change the program the PDF is associated with.
