From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 13 Apr 2010 23:57 It should never happen in the reading pane since the attachment is read only. Does it happen with every attachment or only word documents? Do you have Acrobat installed? If so, see http://www.slipstick.com/problems/acrobat.htm If not, what addins are installed in the program that is opening the attachment? -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM New Poll: What type of email account is your main account? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=42402 "Andrea" <andreawkNOSPAM(a)NOSPAMcox.net> wrote in message news:ufSy$m02KHA.4716(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] wrote: >> "Andrea" <andreawkNOSPAM(a)NOSPAMcox.net> wrote in message >> news:ewgzNzy2KHA.3844(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> >>> I guess I don't consider opening a document changing it, and I never >>> got this message in Office 2003.

From: Andrea on 14 Apr 2010 19:21 You're right. I was mistaken; it doesn't happen in the reading pane. I don't usually use the reading pane, but if that will solve the problem, I will. Does that increase my chances of getting a computer virus? I had read awhile ago that some are spread through email (not just the attachments), but I'm not sure if that turned out to be true. To answer your other questions, it happens with all documents: Word, Excel, PDF files. I do have Adobe 9 installed, and I followed the instructions from the link you sent. I changed it in the Add/Remove Programs as directed, and it took a long time, but it seemed as if it installed rather than uninstalled and afterwards the Adobe option was still on my Outlook toolbar. I then went into the registry and changed the loading. It's no longer on my toolbar--at least until the next update--and I rebooted, but the problem isn't resolved.

From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 15 Apr 2010 10:16 The reading pane is safe to use - its actually slightly safer than opening messages, at least in versions since Outlook 98. I'm pretty sure it's the acrobat addin for word - try disabling it in word's options and see if it helps. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM New Poll: What type of email account is your main account? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=42402 "Andrea" <andreawkNOSPAM(a)NOSPAMcox.net> wrote in message news:#VgXGlC3KHA.4332(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > You're right.

From: Andrea on 15 Apr 2010 10:32 How do I disable it in Word? Where is the registry key? And if I disable it, will I still be able to save a Word document to PDF and also use the features of Adobe to edit it? Thanks.

I think its a template in word, and yes, it will prevent you from using the acrobat features to save documents. You could check the setting in word to not warn before saving the template - it's in office icon, word options: http://slipstick.me/jing/save.png. I don't have acrobat installed on an office 2007 computer to verify that setting will fix it. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM New Poll: What type of email account is your main account? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=42402 "Andrea" <andreawkNOSPAM(a)NOSPAMcox.net> wrote in message news:#m4R9hK3KHA.4752(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > How do I disable it in Word?
