A while back I was trying to edit a word doc on my pc and must have made some changes inadvertently. Basically what is happening now is anytime I receive an email with a pdf attachment Word is trying to open it up in Edit mode. I have found advice online on how to open docs in edit mode all the time but haven't found anything to reverse the process. I did check the Trust Values in Word and all my settings appear to be correct for read only view. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks....

It seems you have PDF associated with Word. You need to change the file association to Adobe Reader. - http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/...ndows-8-1.aspx

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It turned out after checking the Default App settings the pdf files were opening with Reader but when I right clicked the downloaded files they were pointing to Word. I changed those files to point to Reader and all appears to be well. I'm happy to have this corrected but still would like to know why the general setting appeared to be correct but at the file location it was pointing to a different application to open. Any suggestions?
