How do I get the Acrobat tab back in Word 7?

[Scott of the North]

I was creating PDFs by selecting the Acrobat tab in Word 7. When opening a
new Word file to PDF, the option disappeared. I know it can be placed there
again but I cannot figure out how.

I suppose you mean Word 2007? Word 7 is something entirely different.
You need a fully updated version of Acrobat 8 or higher to work with Word
2007.
In your case if the tab is missing, Acrobat has probably been disabled -
Word Options > Add-ins > Manage COM Add-ins and check that Acrobat is both
in the list and checked.
If missing altogether, repair Acrobat.

I've also found that sometimes Adobe disables the add-in. To restore it go to
Word Options, Addins, Manage and go to Disabled Items in the pull down menu.
Any disabled addins will be listed. Click on the Acrobat addin if it's there
and the tabs will be restored. This has happened to me a couple of times in
the last month.
