Although Word 2007 (with the most recent updates applied) can create PDF
files, it cannot read those files. You'll need the free Adobe Reader, which
can be downloaded he

I must figure out how to open PDF files in Word 2007. I am taking on line
classes and work is shared in PDF format. I have a new Dell Inspiron
laptop
that came loaded with Windows 7. I have had it a week and need help. I
tried
to download the Microsoft PDF add on, but it did not work. I can only read
code when I open incoming PDF files. The default program is listed as
Word.
What am I doing wrong?
