I installed Adobe Reader DC several days ago, now no other email attachments will open unless they have a .PDF extension, especially MSWord .DOC files.  Please help me correct this problem.  Thank you very much!

What happens when you try to open those other file-types?

When receiving an email with a Word .doc attachment, clicking on the

attachment opens Acrobat Reader which says it cannot open the doc file

because it's not a pdf (or words to that effect) -- I don't know where to

'call off the dogs', so to speak, so that Acrobat Reader does not

commandeer my attachments. Thank you for any help you may provide.

That means that somehow Reader got associated with .docx files, for some reason. What's your OS version?
