Word XP is automatically creating a PDF when a .doc is opened. Does anyone
know how to disable or deactivate this? I have uninstalled and reinstalled
Acrobat 7.0.
Is there some macro or template that is causing this?

Thanks.

If you are getting this instead of a basic blank document then you need to
close Word, find and delete normal.dot (be sure you have Windows Explorer
set to show hidden files when you try to find it) and then restart Word.
Word will create a brand new one for you. Check

I think if you are telling someone to delete their normal.dot file,
you should warn them that they will lose all their customization,
macros, autotext, etc. Backing up normal.dot first, or renaming it,
is a safer route to take. Much can be recovered from a corrupted
normal.dot.
