That really could be taken the wrong way, couldn't it? :-)

Stop opening your .pdf files with Word. Use Reader.

Your file associations are screwed up.

I have received an e-mailed document that had been scanned.

It arrived with a ".PDF" ending. But the icon is a lower-case "w."

I fully opened the e-mail and tried to open the file by (1) double
clicking;
(2) using the menu; and (3) by right-clicking. In all cases, MSWord
opened
and displayed gibberish.

I saved the document to disk, and then closed Word, opened Adobe
Reader,
and
tried to open the saved filed. Adobe does not recognize the file - it
does
not appear in the directory of the "Open" dialogue box..

When I open the directory with Win Explorer, I see the document, with
its
lower-case "w" and the ".PDF" ending. When I double-click on it,
MSWord
opens and displays gibberish.

What do you suggest?
