PDF Files

[Tina Immormino]

Recently something changed on my computer and now when I try to open MS Word
files the computer autmatically tries to change it into a PDF file via Adobe
Acrobat. It may have been an update I made? I do not want to open all Word
files as PDF and wonder if anyone can help me. It is now doing this for Word
file I create unless say "open with MS Word" and all email attachments
automatically try to open PDF

Please help if you can

In the Start | Run dialog box, type

winword /r

and press Enter. That should restore the correct file associations for Word
documents.

Also, if you right click on any word document (before opening it), Click on
Open With, Choose Program. A dialog box appears. Here you can select which
program will open the file. Choose Word, and then... there is a check box
"Always use the selected program to open this kind of file", make sure it is
checked before you click OK.

Yes, that should work too, and sometimes it's a necessary step (when winword
/r simply doesn't work).
