Publishing to Acrobat Reader

[Nancy]

I currently use Corel Word Perfect which has an option to
save as 'Publish to PDF'. This in turn creates a file in
Acrobat Reader format that I can attach to an e-mail. Is
there anyway to do this in Microsoft Word. I also use
that software but have been unable to save it in PDF
format so that I can attach it to an e-mail.

Yes, you can do same in Word ... however.

I'm not sure how Corel does it. I believe that it's included with the
product for use swith Corel Word Perfect and not used by other programs.
I could be wrong. I don't have Word Perfect to check.

Look at your printer drivers, and if one is Adobe Distiller or Adobe PDF
Writer, then use this "printer" from Word. I suspect this won't work
from Word, but look anyway.

To do from Word, you need to obtain a way to make PDF files. The ways are:

1. Buy Adobe Acrobat Standard ... see www.adobe.com
2. Get Ghostscript for free and use it's PS2PDF program (PostScript to
PDF). Output from Word in PostScript and make PDF. See

3. Pick any of a number of other commercial products to make PDF. See
