I think I'm on the right track at last, thanks to Mary and Graham. I truly do
appreciate your help and advice.
I also must apologize for not knowing how the threads work.

Solution 2
Crop pages in the PDF file to reduce their size:

reduce. 2. Crop the page by choosing Document Crop Pages or by
using the crop tool. For help, see "Cropping and Rotating Pages" in
the Acrobat 5.0 help guide. 3. Choose File Save As, and save the
document.
(By saving to a new
document, you can to revert to the original PDF file if necessary.)

Thank you very much for your reply:
I'm using adobe acrobat 5.0.
I just get "What's this" when I right click properties in
distiller. However, I can set up distiller by clicking
"properties" then picking "advanced" then in 'paper size' I pick
PostScrip custom page size. Then change the default to 6 X 10.
Then in pdf settings I edit conversion settings and once again
change the page settings to custom 6 X 10.
I need all the help I can get, and truly do appreciate it.

I write a catalog in word 2000. It's 6" X 10" so in page set up
I set page size to 6" X 10".
When I convert the word doc to a pdf file using either adobe
distiller or adobe acrobat, adobe always changes the page size to
letter sise. This is so even when I change the pdf settings in
adobe to custom
sise page and set the page size to 6" X 10".
Can anything be done to get adobe to accept the word 6" X 10"
page size? I need all the help I can get, and truly do
appreciate it. Frankie
