When I email documents to PC from my Mac-the document opens in Adobe Reader. I
have no idea how to fix this problem.

On the Mac, you can do a Get Info and it will allow you to set what
application is used to open that file. Some times this gets set incorrectly
and you can do a "change all" to change all files types.

Verify that your documents are set to open in Word on your Mac. If it's
shows correctly, then the problem is on your PC. I don't how you change it
on a PC.

Hi colby,

In what format are the files when you email them? If they're in PDF format, the default app for opening such files on a PC is likely
to be Adobe Reader. Word can't read PDFs. If the files are in Doc format, the default app for opening such files on a PC is likely
to be Word (or another word processor), but a file association error on the PC could cause Adobe Reader to try to open them.
