That solution will only work if the browser used is IE. &nbsp; If you're using Netscape then you will need to:<br />
<br />
1. Open Netscape<br />
2. Select Edit-&gt;Preferences-&gt;Applica<wbr />tions (Under Navigator)<br />
3. Find Entry that has extension = PDF (prob Word)<br />
4. Delete entry<br />
5. Download PDF from the 'net and tell it the App to use.<br />
6. Download a Word Doc from the 'net and tell it the App to use if it asks.<br />
<br />
Reinstalling Adobe might do it too.
