You can download the free PrimoPDF from
http://www.primopdf.com/
However if your documents are corrupt it will not help.
Are you sure they are corrupt? Have you saved them to floppy - that would
corrupt them?
Have you tried opening Word in its safe mode as already discussed?

Thanks Graham:
I tried to restore to an earlier date but apparently the problem
occurred earlier than my system restore will go back.
I was thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling both office 2000 and
adobe but am not sure that will work either.
How do I download the free PrimoPDF ??
Yes there now all my word docs are corrupted. I just can't figure out
who they got that way, or what I can do to correct it.
Thanks again
I need all the help I can get, and truly do appreciate it.

It's the ribbon entry that 8.1 provides for Office 2007 - and very
neat it is too - but if you don't need it ........ 
Back to the original question, Acrobat 5 *without the add-in* should
work in much the same way.

I use Acrobat Professional 7 with Word 2007, and it works fine for
how I use it. But, I've never used the Adobe toolbar in Word (just
the printer driver), so I'm probably easier to please than most. I'm
not about to fork out the $$$ for 8.1 unless I absolutely positively
need it.

If you upgrade to Word 2007, Acrobat 5 will no longer work. You
need Acrobat 8.1 for compatibility and that could prove expensive.
If you have Windows XP and System Restore running, you could
restore to a
time when you knew it was working and be careful about what updates
you add. You could try downloading the free PrimoPDF and 'print'
to that. If
that doesn't work, there is something wrong with your document -
probably some form of corruption.

I use word 2000 to write my catalog and then convert it to a PDF
file using Adobe Acrobat 5.0
I have done this successfully for over 6 years, without ever
having a problem! All of sudden, word docs can not be converted.
Adobe reports the word doc is corrupt.
I sent the error report to Microsoft and they say office 2000 is
causing the problem and to correct it I should upgrade to office
2007 because it is supported and office 2000 is not.
They do not say the problem will be eliminated if I upgrade to
office 2007, just that I will then be eligible for support with
the problem. The program was running fine with no problems.
Somehow a Microsoft download caused this problem.
I can't afford to buy office 2007 just to let Microsoft try to
help correct a problem they caused.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
