You can download one of a number of freeware or shareware PDF makers (cute
PDF; pdf995); once installed, they appear as a printer selection, so you are
in effect "printing" to a PDF. Transferring from Publisher to Word involves a
lot of cutting and pasting, so unless you need to end up with a Word doc, you
are better off using the PDF route.
For future reference, you might want to confirm that you are posting to the
Microsoft Publisher discussion group. Your post showed up in the Access
Database group.
Hope this helps,
