Thanks, Herb. The file is made up entirely of text, but it is presented in
table form. It is complied by several different people (authorless) and it
is my duty to manipulate the data into a a different form (Word document) for
a formal report. I can lift the "images", even one sentence at a time, but I
cannot manipulate the sentence structure, paragraphing, etc. I was wondering
if it might be possible to scan the document into a form that would be
possible to copy and paste from?

Are you sure the Acrobat file actually contains text? Some folks
deliberately make pdf files as graphics to prevent folks from easily copying
text (fear of plagiarism).

I can copy and paste an image of the text but I cannot copy and paste
sentences and then reformat them in Word. Any ideas?
