pdf looks like an icon not a document

When I place a pdf document into a word document at home (using Word 2002)
it looks like a document and becomes part of the word document. When I do the
same thing at work (using Word 2003) it looks more like an icon and says
"Acrobat document". I have tried all of the settings and can't find any that
are different from home to work. Please help

In Word at work, uncheck the "Display as icon" box in the
Insert->Object dialog box.

Do you have Acrobat 7 reader installed at work? Earlier versions do not
offer this option.

I do have the box "unchecked" It isn't an icon as much as a small picture
that says "acrobat document". I know it has to do with some small setting but
I can't figure out which one. I compard both home and work settings and they
seem the same. I do have Word 2002 at home without Acrobat 7 only Acrobat
Reader. The funny thing is that I have placed a pdf document within a word
document before and it worked at work...maybe a month ago!

I do have Acrobat 7 at work but not ay home but I was able to do this about a
month ago that is what is so frustrating. I know it will turn out to be a
small thing but in the meantime I cannot make any leases at the office with
exhibits. (My exhibits are PDF's)

Actually I only had Acrobat 6.0 at the office and as soon as I downloaded and
installed Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 the pdf picture showed immediatly in my
document. Thank you for your valuable information!!
