Setting CutePDF to open in Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer in Windows 7.
Ack! Let me backtrack. How did I do that???
________________________________________________
OPEN WITH:
[Program doesn't show in Windows Default list].
So... I used drop-down: 'other programs.'
[Program still didn't show].
+ UNCHECK the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this file."
Click the "Browse" button.
Browse through "Local Disk (C:)" [That icon is WAY over in left column].
Open "Program Files (x86)".
Open "Google" folder.
Open "Chrome" folder.
Open "Application" folder.
Choose "Chrome" [that is, Chrome.exe, the application].
Once you've chosen it, re-check the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this file."

[Now, before all of this, even, I'd had to set CutePDF
to open in a browser instead of to open in Adobe Reader; but
the only browser Windows was showing in the default list
was, of course, Internet Explorer.]
All of this started with an attempt to save a PDF, and save it in a 6x9 format.
To do the 6x9 format, I changed the page size in both my "Word" document and in the PDF Printer properties to "Custom" and "6.00 width" x "9.00 height." Seems as if I also had to choose the printer tray of "only one." There were some questions (load lengthwise, roll feed, etc.); so far, I don't know how to answer those questions, and haven't yet found the answer in forums. I left it at default. Also, in setting the custom page size in Windows7, with the weird printer interface that's available for my HP Deskjet 5000, I couldn't find some of my usual options, including any way to name and save the custom format I'd just configured. In my old computer, I did manage to save a Custom format. Maybe it has to do with using CreateSpace's template. I haven't downloaded that yet on this new PC.
Still beating my head against Microsoft's user-unfriendly brick wall, as always happens when I get a new machine. Consolation: this time, I have a back-up (very old) PC, on which I plan to load Linux and see if life gets any better...
