From: Tina Immormino Tina on 22 Mar 2010 15:50 Recently something changed on my computer and now when I try to open MS Word files the computer autmatically tries to change it into a PDF file via Adobe Acrobat. It may have been an update I made? I do not want to open all Word files as PDF and wonder if anyone can help me. It is now doing this for Word file I create unless say "open with MS Word" and all email attachments automatically try to open PDF Please help if you can

That should restore the correct file associations for Word documents. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Tina Immormino" <Tina Immormino(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7F1E51AD-135B-420C-ABE2-987D959FD02F(a)microsoft.com... > Recently something changed on my computer and now when I try to open MS > Word > files the computer autmatically tries to change it into a PDF file via > Adobe > Acrobat.

Here you can select which program will open the file. Choose Word, and then... there is a check box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file", make sure it is checked before you click OK.

Yes, that should work too, and sometimes it's a necessary step (when winword /r simply doesn't work). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzie" <Suzie(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:C7FCA861-ACF4-4212-BCD8-72E270CA075D(a)microsoft.com... > Also, if you right click on any word document (before opening it), Click > on > Open With, Choose Program.
