Hi kauaifit

By default your all word documents should not get converted to pdf unless they have not been converted.

You can check your word document file type extension for example if they are still filename.doc or filename.docx then they are still word documents, it might be then you need to change the default program to open the word documents. If all file that were supposed to be word documents and the file extension is filename.pdf then you can use Acrobat Pro XI to convert them back to word documents.

Thanks. That was the case that they were not really PDF's. Changed the

"open with..." to Word and they all changed back to showing that they were

indeed Word docs. Whew!
