Word 03/MOS 03 Pro on Win XP SP2 Box.

I started with a .pdf document that I wanted to paste into Web based email
(Yahoo). I got the effect where paragraphs and lines weren't justified--I
get one line and two words of the next/one line and two words of the next.
So I tried to paste it into Word which does not help. I know that there are
3rd party PDF to Word converters like Scansoft's but is there any other way
to do this using any features native to Word?

Tia,

Not that I have ever seen or heard about. I think one of the main points of
PDF is to make this as difficult as possible!

In that vein my question probably sound pretty simple minded, but I want to
be clear. It's not a .pdf formatted so I can't copy and paste--the document
isn't protected in that way whatever is the proper Adobe term for that. I
can select all or use the copy tool that gives you a cursor but it's hard
to do that because it doesn't auto scroll well and scripts--but when I get
the content it is regular line then to words, and so on.

Thanks,

Chad Harris

What you have to bear in mind is that a pdf file is not a text document, bit
a graphical representation of the original document and is not intended to
be edited. You must expect to do some re-editing if you use copy/paste. Even
converters will not be 100% accurate.
