MAIL PDF ATTACHMENTS ARE OPENED IN PAPER PORT, WHY?

[PHOENIXLADY]

WHEN I RECEIVE MAIL WITH PDF ATTACHMENTS AND TRY TO OPEN THEM THEY ARE OPENED
WITH PAPER PORT. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? AND HOW CAN I CHANGE THE SETTINGS?
THIS IS A NEW OCCURANCE. THE PAPER PORT PROGRAM HAS BEEN ON THE PC FOR A
LONG TIME AND WE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. EXCEL ATTACHMENTS OPEN IN EXCEL.
WORD DOCS OPEN IN WORD.

If you save the PDF to your hard drive, does it open with PaperPort or
Adobe's PDF reader? Have you tried reinstalling the PDF reader?

Don't post in all CAPS it mean shouting!

Outlook doesn't control this. You can control default file type handlers in
Control Panel-> Folder Options-> tab File Types.
