How do I stop all my word files from converting to adobe files?

[cattorres]

I have noticed all my word files are under adobe and open automatically through there if I do not use open with. Also when I save files from Word, they automatically save as a pdf not a word document even though the ending of the file is .docx. It is getting annoying that I cannot open any files without it saying there's a problem with the file.

Hi Cattorres,

Thank you for reaching out. 

As the files are converting and saving to PDF, it seems that the default application for Word is set up as Acrobat Pro DC. 

Pleae check and change the default application for the Word file to MS Word.

Let us know if you are referring to something else or need any help.

Thanks,

Meenakshi

When I try to change the default, it will only let me choose "Adobe Acrobat" or "Search for an app in the app store" even though I have Microsoft Office installed.  What can I do to make the Microsoft apps available to select as defaults?

I'm pretty sure the op knew that but did not know where to change default settings. D'oh.
