Default Launching Adobe Reader on PDF Creation

Running XP Pro SP3, Office 2007. I run an old Acrobat 6 for pdf creation and
modification. I recently installed Adobe Reader 9 for pdf reading. When I
double-click a pdf document, it correctly launches Reader 9. When I use MS
Word 2007 to save a Word doc as a pdf, telling it to open the document when
created, it automatically launches Acrobat 6 instead of Reader 9. I see lots
of classes pointing at Acrobat 6, but hesitate to modify the registry
directly. Is there a Word option (or an Adobe Reader setting) that would
allow Word to launch Reader 9, or even worse, must I modify my registry?
