File conversion

[ArmyWife07]

I have the newest version of Microsof office on Windows Vista. Everytime I
try to open up certian application, like a lease aggreement, a file
conversion window pops up telling me to choose my file type. None of it is
english. The documents reads in some kind of lettering. How do i fix this?

 

[DL]

What is the name and suffix of the file eg;
lease.doc

 

[ArmyWife07]

Residentialleaseapplication.pdf

What is the name and suffix of the file eg;
lease.doc

You need the free acrobat reader installed to be able to view this file type
www.adobe.com

We have that. My husband, not listening to me, was trying to copy and send a
lease application through email and wasn't doing it right. He copied the file
and sent it to adobe acrobat so he could save it the computer. And now
whenever we view the file through microsoft word, it shows up in letters.
Would I have to go to adobe to fix it so its viewable through microsoft word?

Do you have the Microsoft .pdf converter tool installed?

No I don't think so. I've never heard of it. I don't know a whole about
computers and they're software.

If the file is in pdf format Word wont recognise it, unless you use the pdf
convertor, as in Milly's post.
Otherwise it needs to be opened with Acrobat

Hi Wife,

The link that Milly provided will save a Word 2007 document *to* PDF format, but it won't allow you to open a .PDF in MS Word or
convert it *from* PDF to Word format. Word doesn't undertand .PDF files.

You would need a 3rd party converter for creating a Word document from a PDF file, such as http://scansoft.com and even then the
conversion of a form won't be a perfect one. There are software packages of forms including leases available that are in .DOC or
..RTF format (formats that Word understands) and there are templates for Word on
http://office.microsoft.com/templates also available from inside of Word via
Office Button=>New

Many forms that are in PDF format these days are designed to be 'fillable' forms that you can complete while in the Adobe Reader for
PDF files.

Thank you. I clicked on Milly's link, downloaded it and noticed it didn't
work because I needed a 3rd party converter. So I uninstalled it. Ill have to
find the lease and try to recopy it the right way. I don't know what he did
nor how he did it. So I hope it'll copy correctly and save it to MS Word.
Thanks for you help!
