PDF email attachment is unreadable in Word 2007

[Peace42day]

Until recently when I clicked on a PDF email attachment it would
automatically come up in Word 2007 perfectly. Now a 'file conversion' dialog
box pops up asking to select the encoding that makes your document readable.
(it is all garbled and makes no sense.) None of my selections work and even
if I cancel the dialog box it still will not come up in a readable format. I
did upgrade to Adobe Reader 9.1 version a few weeks back and AR works fine.
(currently, that's the only way I can read an email PDF attachment)
Is there some quick fix to help Word 2007 to work with my email PDF
attachments?
I have Windows Vista.

You have never opened a .pdf file in Word. It cannot be done.

So our question is how can we set our computer to open a pdf file in Adobe?

It should be automatic, unless your file associations have messed up. Check
them.
