I have looked for the answer but I am running Vista and cannot find data
files in the control panel. Can anyone help me change Outlook to open pdf
files in Adobe instead of Word?

Outlook doesn't ever open attachments. A handler (program) designated for
the filetype of the attachment is what gets used to load the file. So
you'll have to install a PDF viewer.

Adobe is a company, not a program, so presumably you meant that you have
Adobe Reader installed. If that program has a user-configurable option to
associate it with .pdf file then do it that way; otherwise, right-click on a
..pdf file, select Open With, browse to AR's executable file to select it to
open the .pdf file, and enable the checkbox to always use that handler.

Install Acrobat or Acrobat Reader and it will set the proper associations.
