pdf maker not working with Vista

[Marc]

Hello. I have been using the pdf maker tool that I think was built into MS
Office. (It's the tool that lets me convert word docs into .pdf files.)

However, now that I upgraded to Vista, it doesn't seem to work anymore. Is
there anything I can do? I really need this tool!!

Does anyone know about compatability issues? Patches? Fixes? Please help!!

Thanks!!

Are you referring to the PDF functionality that is available for Office
2007? Prior to the current version this capability needed to be obtained
from a third-party.

I suspect that you had something like Adobe in a previous version of Office
and upgraded to Office 2007 and Vista? If that's the case then the Adobe PDF
add-in isn't compatible with the new version - you'll need to check their
web site for updates.

If all you need is to create a PDF, then in Word, click the Microsoft Office
Button (circle in the upper left corner), point to Save As (don't click it)
and then you'll see a link for downloading and installing the PDF add-in for
Office.

If this isn't what you are asking then we need to know what version of
Office you are using and any additional details that you think would be
helpful.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
