Word instead of Acrobat
I read a document and clicked on an attachment. It was an Acrobat attachment,
but it opened the document in Word - so it made no sense, it looked like lots of random characters. My PC has acrobat... Now every time I try to open someting in Acrobat or even a web link, it opens in Word!!! How can I change this? Any help much appriciated, this is driving me mad! -- Rob, Teesside, UK |

The method is slightly different for older operating systems but the issue
is the same. You need to reallocate PDF to Acrobat. You can do this from Windows Explorer tools folder options file types. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org abfabrob wrote: I don't have Windows XP, this didn't work.
