I have windows vista and word 2007. When people send me older versions of
word, I cannot open them. Adobe reader tries to open them and then says it
cannot open them.

Any ideas please.

Adobe reader does not open Word files!
It appears you are trying to open Word documents from an e-mail message.
This is bad practice (though Outlook 2007 has removed most of the associated
problems). Instead copy the document to your hard drive and open it from
within Word 2007, which will open all previous Word version files.
You also appear to have a minor file association issue that has DOC format
files associated with Adobe Reader? Repairing Office 2007 should fix that.
