Insert PDF object in Word 2000 - icon missing

G

Gary E. Decker

After our company updated from Adobe Reader 6.0 to 7.0, we have found
that, when a PDF file is inserted into a Word document (Word 2000)
using Insert > Object > Create from File, and the Display as Icon
option is used, the file appears without the PDF icon. When you click
the Change Icon button, you can see the icon at that point. If you
click Browse,
the file is pointing to:
C:\Windows\Installer\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-A705000000002}\PDFFile.ico}.
I have verified that the icon file exists.

File associations for PDF appear to be correct. The correct icon
displays in Windows Explorer, and also when PDF documents are received
as attachments in Microsoft Outlook messages. In both cases, the PDF
file launches correctly in Adobe Reader. I have performed both a
repair and a reinstall of Office 2000, to no avail. I have been in
contact with Adobe Expert Support on this issue, and they are convinced
that the problem lies within Word. Any suggestions?
