Publishing a document to PDF

Yes it does. If you purchase the latest version of Adobe Acrobat (not the
free Reader), you will get a toolbar that shows up in Word that provides
that capability.
 
Bill's answer while correct is a tad misleading, as you will see when you
check the price of Acrobat! Word has no inherent ability to save (or open) a
PDF file. There are however lots of utilities that will do the job - a
couple are linked from the favourites page of my web site.

Thanks to both of you for responding. You are both
correct. I am aware that with the purchase of adobe you can
publish them from word or with third parties utilities.

What I was hoping to hear was that WORD had the built in
ability to do so. Word Perfect has offered this feature
for the past couple of versions and I was hoping to hear
the word had stepped up and did the same in the lastest
version. (I didn't see it anywhere but was wishing..)

THANKS again. I guess the answer is that they don't have it
built in.
 
I would expect that Adobe wants too much money from Microsoft to enable
this (if it was ever even discussed between the two corporation's
executives), or Microsoft wants to be distant from a "competitors"
format/de-facto standard and perhaps wish they can establish their own
standard...

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
